Photosynthesis vs Cell Respiration

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into energy (ATP) for the cell's activities.

Front

In which organelle does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.

Front

What do plants need to produce their own food?

Back

Plants need carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce their own food.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

The mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, converting energy stored in glucose into ATP.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.
