Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Front

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

Cellular Respiration is a chemical reaction that combines oxygen and glucose to release energy for the cell's activities.

Front

What is Photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.

Front

What is the chemical formula for Glucose?

Back

C6H12O6

Front

What do heterotrophs rely on for food?

Back

Heterotrophs get their food by eating food from another source.

Front

What are the main products of Photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of Photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular functions.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while heterotrophs obtain food by consuming other organisms.

Front

What is the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The Calvin Cycle is a series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.

Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the reactants of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The reactants of Cellular Respiration are glucose and oxygen.
