Mrs. Kim's Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the overall purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (energy) and oxygen.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What are the products in the cellular respiration equation?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to each other?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the significance of oxygen produced in photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis and is essential for the survival of aerobic organisms.
