Photosynthesis & Cell Respiration - Acc (24-25)

Front

What is the overall goal of cellular respiration?

Back

The overall goal of cellular respiration is to produce ATP energy.

Front

What process would NOT occur if plants are placed in a closet without sunlight?

Back

Photosynthesis would not occur.

Front

What is the overall goal of photosynthesis?

Back

The overall goal of photosynthesis is to produce glucose.

Front

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ENERGY → 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll that captures light energy.

Front

What is the significance of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is a primary energy source for cellular respiration, providing the necessary fuel for ATP production.

Front

How does cellular respiration relate to photosynthesis?

Back

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are interconnected processes; the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cellular respiration.
