Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration TEST

Front

What is the main pigment in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll is the main pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

Why can't animals do photosynthesis?

Back

Animals can't do photosynthesis because they do not have chloroplasts.

Front

What is the name of the sugar that is formed during photosynthesis?

Back

The sugar formed during photosynthesis is called glucose.

Front

Which light wave does chlorophyll NOT absorb well?

Back

Chlorophyll does not absorb green light well.

Front

Why is photosynthesis important?

Back

Photosynthesis is important because it creates oxygen for animals to breathe, energy for heterotrophs to consume, and food for plants.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
