Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process in which plants capture sunlight energy to make food.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (a simple sugar).

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What gas do plants release after photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells break down food to release energy.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

A form of energy that cells can use, produced by cellular respiration.

Front

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

In the chloroplasts of plant cells.
