Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

Why is photosynthesis important?

Back

It creates oxygen for animals to breathe, creates energy for heterotrophs to use, and creates food for plants to use.

Front

What is phototropism?

Back

The growth of a plant in response to light.

Front

What is gravitropism?

Back

The growth of a plant in response to gravity.

Front

What is thigmotropism?

Back

The growth of a plant in response to touch.

Front

What is hydrotropism?

Back

The growth of a plant in response to water.

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 and oxygen.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

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