Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What role do NADH and FADH2 play in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH and FADH2 are cofactors that carry electrons to the electron transport chain, where they help produce ATP.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the function of ATP synthase?

Back

ATP synthase is an enzyme that synthesizes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

In which organisms does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms, including animals, plants, and fungi.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.
