Unit #2 Review B

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and other organic molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP, using oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy, while cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide and water, which are used in photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose, which serves as an energy source for plants.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of oxygen produced during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen produced during photosynthesis is essential for the survival of aerobic organisms, including humans, as it is used in cellular respiration.
