What is the name of the sugars a plant produces after photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose

Front

Which of the following equations represents the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis? 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Back

This equation shows that carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What products of photosynthesis are starting materials for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen are the products of photosynthesis that are used in cellular respiration.

Front

Which side of the arrow in a photosynthesis equation shows the products?

Back

The right side of the arrow shows the products of photosynthesis.

Front

What is an organism that cannot make its own food called?

Back

Heterotroph.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants 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 are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy.
