Back

ADP, NADP+, Glucose

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration interrelated?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis.

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 are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and Light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle).

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed to drive the reactions of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary function of chlorophyll?

Back

To absorb light energy for photosynthesis.

Front
