Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

In the cytoplasm.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What pigment is responsible for the green color in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

They are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs, producing ATP.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

It provides the energy needed to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the main byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Front

What are thylakoids?

Back

Membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.
