Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Review

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ATP.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the two stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light dependent and light independent.

Front

What occurs during the electron transport chain?

Back

Transfers energy from NADH and FADH2 down the electron transport chain and creates 34 ATP from NADH and FADH2.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

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

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

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

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is the light-independent stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.
