EOC Review Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the primary pigment used by plants to absorb sunlight?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen

Front

Where does the Calvin Cycle take place in the chloroplast?

Back

In the stroma

Front

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

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What is the formula for cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP)

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP serves as the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming other organisms.

Front

What is the significance of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

They capture and convert light energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH) and produce oxygen as a byproduct.
