REVIEW - Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What structure within a plant cell does photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the structures in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the name of the green pigment that helps with photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the reactants in cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants in cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen, which are used to produce energy.

Front

What are the products in cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are water and carbon dioxide, which are released as byproducts.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water, which are converted into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The overall equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the overall equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The overall equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the air through small openings in their leaves called stomata.

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 to power cellular activities.
