Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What do plants need from the air for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

Which gas do plants give off after photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is the goal of Cellular Respiration?

Back

To make ATP.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and sugar (glucose).

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

In the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.
