Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What captures the sun's energy?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment in plants that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the reactants in cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants in cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What does the picture show? (water molecule)

Back

A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O).

Front

This is the equation for... (cellular respiration)

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy.

Front

What happens in Glycolysis?

Back

In Glycolysis, the cytoplasm breaks down the glucose molecule into smaller molecules, producing energy.

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 chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

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

Where does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.
