Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the principal chemical compound that living things use to store energy?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the principal chemical compound used by living organisms to store and transfer energy.

Front

Which process do organisms use to convert glucose into energy?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms convert glucose into energy.

Front

What are the main reactants in cellular respiration?

Back

The main reactants in cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the main reactants in photosynthesis?

Back

The main reactants in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

How does light affect photosynthesis?

Back

Light provides the energy needed for photosynthesis to occur, enabling plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

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.
