Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the balanced equation for cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

In the chloroplasts.

Front

What are the reactants in the cellular respiration equation?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular respiration?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis to life on Earth?

Back

Photosynthesis produces oxygen and organic compounds, which are essential for life.
