Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Review

Front

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The purpose of photosynthesis is to make glucose.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What gas is released by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

The gas released by plants during photosynthesis is oxygen.

Front

Explain how the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration cycle matter.

Back

The outputs of photosynthesis are the inputs for cellular respiration.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

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

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 is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the significance of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

The light-dependent reactions convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
