EOC Blitz Review - Cell Energy (photosynthesis/respiration)

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the main product of cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less ATP.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A type of respiration that requires oxygen and produces more ATP.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to each other?

Back

Photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose, which are used in cellular respiration to produce ATP.

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.
