Final Study Guide Part 2: Photosynthesis/Cellular Resipiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process of plants converting/transferring solar energy to chemical energy to make their food.

Front

What pigment absorbs light energy in chloroplasts?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

Which organisms undergo cellular respiration?

Back

Both animals and plants.

Front

Where do aerobic respiration reactions occur?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To make food.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which organisms convert glucose into energy (ATP).

Front

What are the two main types of cellular respiration?

Back

Aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.
