Unit 3- Photosynthesis and Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

A process using water, carbon dioxide, and light to release oxygen and store energy in glucose. Only plants do it.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

A process using glucose and oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxide, and ATP energy. All organisms perform it.

Front

What is glucose?

Back

Sugar made by photosynthesis and used in cellular respiration. Chemical formula: C₆H₁₂O₆.

Front

What is oxygen's role in cellular processes?

Back

Oxygen is a gas that is an INPUT for cellular respiration and an OUTPUT for photosynthesis.

Front

What is carbon dioxide's role in cellular processes?

Back

Carbon dioxide is a gas that is an INPUT for photosynthesis and an OUTPUT for cellular respiration.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Energy stored in chemical bonds.

Front

What is the photosynthesis equation?

Back

H₂O + CO₂ + sun ---> C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂.

Front

What is the cellular respiration equation?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ ---> CO₂ + H₂O + ATP.

Front

What is a chloroplast?

Back

An organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

What is mitochondria?

Back

An organelle found in cells, in which cellular respiration occurs.
