Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

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 is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment in plant cells that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to perform photosynthesis.

Front

What do plants produce during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants produce glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main byproduct of cellular respiration in animals?

Back

The main byproduct of cellular respiration in animals is carbon dioxide.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing energy through processes like fermentation.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the importance of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
