Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants capture sunlight energy to make food (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the main source of energy for photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells break down glucose and oxygen to produce energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

How is ATP produced?

Back

ATP is produced during cellular respiration when glucose is broken down.

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

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