3.4 Photosynthesis Vs Cellular Resp

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis in plants?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

In the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the main product of glycolysis?

Back

Pyruvate, along with a small amount of ATP.

Front

What are the two main types of respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO2 + H2O + light energy -> O2 + Glucose.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2).

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.
