Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the primary function of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into ATP energy for cellular activities.

Front

What is the main product of cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the main product.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the role of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is the primary fuel that is broken down to release energy.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own energy (e.g., plants), while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle).

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

In which organelle does photosynthesis occur?

Back

In the chloroplast.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.
