Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the green pigment (coloring) found in chloroplasts in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that captures light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

Where does cellular respiration take place?

Back

Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

When does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs all the time, both day and night.

Front

What do plants make as their own food?

Back

Plants make glucose as their own food through the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) as a byproduct.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, where cellular respiration occurs to produce ATP.
