photosynthesis + respiration

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 the primary function of leaves in plants?

Back

Leaves are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into food for the plant.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy

Front

What is the energy currency of the cell produced during cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What role do stomata play in plants?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the underside of leaves that allow gases (like CO2 and O2) to enter and exit the plant.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen (O2) during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
