Unit 5- Cellular Energy Review

Front

What is the process by which food is synthesized from carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What process releases the energy stored in glucose?

Back

Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

Front

What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + (Solar Energy) -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What process stores energy from the sun in glucose?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What is the primary energy currency of the cell produced during cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is the significance of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

They convert solar energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH) and produce oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis?

Back

It uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
