Mitochondria

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

CO2, H2O, ATP

Front

What do plants need from the air for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

The location inside a plant cell where photosynthesis happens.

Front

What is the main source of energy for all life?

Back

The sun

Front

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

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

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 role do chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
