Photosynthesis and Respiration (9th)

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to each other?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
