Introduction to Cellular Energy and Photosynthesis

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and sugar (glucose)

Front

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

What do plants need from the air for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide

Front

What is the energy-carrying biological molecule that drives cellular activities?

Back

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Front

What does the Second Law of Thermodynamics state?

Back

Energy is lost as heat during energy transfer, leading to less usable energy.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.
