Photosynthesis/ Cellular Respiration Flashcard

Front

What are the inputs of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and light.

Front

What is the food that plants produce during photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

O2 + C6H12O6 → CO2 + H2O + 36 ATP.

Front

Where does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?

Back

In the chloroplasts.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem?

Back

Photosynthesis is crucial for producing oxygen and organic compounds that serve as food for living organisms.

Front

How does cellular respiration relate to photosynthesis?

Back

Cellular respiration uses the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) to produce energy (ATP), while photosynthesis uses the products of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water).

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).
