Front

Which organisms depend on photosynthesis for survival?

Back

Every living organism, in some manner, depends on photosynthesis.

Front

Which organisms depend on the process of cellular respiration for survival?

Back

All organisms that break down glucose for food; including plants and animals.

Front

In which organelle does Cellular Respiration occur?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is a common requirement for both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

They both are required for a cell to produce ATP.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back
