Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration 1

Front

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

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

What are the inputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The inputs of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and light energy.

Front

What are the outputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The outputs of photosynthesis are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

The inputs of cellular respiration are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What are the outputs of cellular respiration?

Back

The outputs of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and ATP (energy).

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration cycle matter?

Back

The outputs of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the inputs for cellular respiration, and the outputs of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) are the inputs for photosynthesis.

Front

In which organisms does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in both animal and plant cells.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to make glucose, which serves as an energy source for plants.

Front

How does an increase in carbon dioxide affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

An increase in carbon dioxide typically increases the rate of photosynthesis.
