Matter Cycling: Final Unit Assessment

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which cells capture energy from the sun and convert it into food, primarily glucose.

Front

What are the outputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The outputs of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the inputs required for photosynthesis?

Back

The inputs required for photosynthesis are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

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 are the outputs of cellular respiration?

Back

The outputs of cellular respiration are energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that capture sunlight and are essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What conditions prevent a plant from producing food molecules?

Back

Conditions that prevent a plant from producing food molecules include lack of light, water, or carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the significance of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is essential for photosynthesis as it is one of the inputs needed to produce glucose and oxygen.

Front

How do plants obtain carbon dioxide?

Back

Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the air through small openings in their leaves called stomata.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

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