Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What do people exhale that plants need?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that is essential for photosynthesis in plants.

Front

What is the chemical formula for cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What do people inhale that they need to live?

Back

Oxygen (O2) is essential for cellular respiration in humans and many other organisms.

Front

What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is 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 is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, enabling photosynthesis.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and ATP (energy).
