Front

Which statement about photosynthesis is correct?

Back

Plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis from sunlight.

Front

What are the two products that are formed in photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose

Front

Cellular respiration converts chemical energy stored in glucose into which large molecule?

Back

ATP

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process of plants converting/transferring solar energy to chemical energy to make their food.

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell.

Front

What are the main reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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