What is 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, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Where does Photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs primarily in the leaves of plants, specifically in the chloroplasts.

Front

What are the main reactants needed for Photosynthesis?

Back

The main reactants needed for Photosynthesis are light energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the main product of Photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of Photosynthesis is glucose, which serves as food for the plant.

Front

What gas is released during Photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is released as a byproduct during Photosynthesis.

Front

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

Cellular Respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does Cellular Respiration occur in cells?

Back

Cellular Respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.

Front

What are the main reactants needed for Cellular Respiration?

Back

The main reactants needed for Cellular Respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the relationship between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in Cellular Respiration to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
