Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

Why are many plants green?

Back

Chlorophyll reflects green light.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What process can animals only use?

Back

Only use cellular respiration.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide + water --> oxygen + glucose.

Front

How can energy from the sun be transferred to animals?

Back

The sun's energy is transformed into food by plants; animals eat plants to transform that food into energy.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What do plants need for photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.
