Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast.

Front

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What part of the plant absorbs carbon dioxide?

Back

Leaves.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front
