Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Review

Front

What are the two high-energy molecules produced from the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis?

Back

ATP and NADPH

Front

What process produces the CO2 that you breathe out?

Back

Kreb's Cycle

Front

Why are cellular respiration and photosynthesis described as complementary processes?

Back

The products of one reaction are the reactants of the other.

Front

What are the main products of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

ADP, NADP+, Glucose

Front

Can plants perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

False

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)
