Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6 CO2 + 6 H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)

Front

What is the main source of energy for all life?

Back

The Sun

Where do the reactions of photosynthesis take place in autotrophs?

Back

Chloroplasts

Front

Which organelle does cellular respiration happen in?

Back

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 role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy (ATP)
