Fast and Curious: Photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To break down glucose for energy.

Front

Which organisms perform Photosynthesis?

Back

Autotrophs/producers (things that make their own food).

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> ATP + 6CO2 + 6H2O.

Front

How do consumers (heterotrophs) get glucose?

Back

By eating.

Front

What is a reactant?

Back

The things that go into a chemical reaction (like the ingredients of a chemical equation).

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which autotrophs convert sunlight into chemical energy (glucose).

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

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.
