Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Flashcard

Front

What is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration in living organisms?

Back

To produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for energy.

Front

What are the two main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce ATP.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is necessary for the photosynthesis process.

Front

During which part of the day do plants primarily perform photosynthesis?

Back

During the day, when sunlight is available.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important for cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), and Electron Transport Chain.
