Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Check-Point

1. What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

• allows plants to make their own food in the form of glucose
• allows animals to make their own food in the form of glucose
• allows all organisms to convert sunlight into energy

2. What is the equation for photosynthesis?

• CO2 + H2O ➡ glucose + O2
• CO2 + H20 + sunlight ➡ glucose + O2
• glucose + O2 ➡ CO2 + H2O + ATP
• glucose + O2 + sunlight ➡ CO2 + H2O + ATP

3. What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

• allows plants to make their own food in the form of glucose
• allows plants and animals to convert glucose into molecules of energy, ATP
• allows all organisms to convert sunlight into energy

4. What is the equation for cellular respiration?

• CO2 + H2O ➡ glucose + O2
