Photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Front

Where do plants get the energy they need to perform photosynthesis?

Back

The sun

Front

What do plants need to perform photosynthesis?

Back

Water (H₂O) + Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) and Sunlight Energy

Front

What is created as a result of Photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) + Oxygen (O₂)

Front

What does C₆H₁₂O₆ tell you about the glucose molecule?

Back

It has 6 carbon (C) atoms, 12 hydrogen (H) atoms, and 6 oxygen (O) atoms.

Front

In which cell organelle does PHOTOSYNTHESIS take place?

Back

The chloroplast

Front

What process must cells undergo to convert the energy stored in glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) into useable cell energy (ATP)?

Back

Cellular respiration

Front

What do cells need to perform the process of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) + Oxygen (O₂)

Front

What is created as a result of cellular respiration?

Back

Front

Where in the cell does cellular respiration take place?

Back

The mitochondria

Front

How many molecules of CO₂ and H₂O are required to make one molecule of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) in photosynthesis?

Back

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O molecules
