Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration TEST

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

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

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and water, which are used in photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place, containing chlorophyll that captures light energy.

Front

What is the significance of vacuoles in plant cells?

Back

Vacuoles are storage organelles in plant cells that hold nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

What is the difference between breathing and cellular respiration?

Back

Breathing is the physical process of inhaling and exhaling air, while cellular respiration is a biochemical process that occurs in cells to produce energy.

Front

Can photosynthesis occur without sunlight?

Back

No, photosynthesis requires sunlight to provide the energy needed for the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
