Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What is the primary product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2)

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

In the cytoplasm

Front

What is the main function of mitochondria?

Back

To produce ATP through cellular respiration

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 chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

To absorb light energy, primarily from the sun

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A process that requires oxygen to produce ATP from glucose

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A process that does not require oxygen to produce ATP from glucose

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place?

Back

In the thylakoids of the chloroplasts

Front

What is the Krebs cycle?

Back

A series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.
