Biology Cell Energy Flashcard

Front

What organelle in plant cells is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis.

Front

What type of energy is created during photosynthesis?

Back

Chemical energy is created during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The correct equation for cellular respiration is: 6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Front

What process do plants use to convert light energy into chemical energy?

Back

Plants use photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

Which compound is used as a reactant in cellular respiration?

Back

O2 (oxygen) is used as a reactant in cellular respiration.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2) is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.

Front

How does cellular respiration relate to photosynthesis?

Back

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are interconnected processes; the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cellular respiration.
