Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration: Standard 6

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose, which plants use as energy.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to release energy for the cell's activities.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell.

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What role do roots play in a plant's life?

Back

Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil and anchor the plant in place.

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, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What do plants release as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
