Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What happens to the solution in a test tube with a plant in light?

Back

The solution becomes more blue because the algae is doing more photosynthesis and using carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the primary product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is the primary product of photosynthesis.

Front

What gas is produced during cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is the stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose.
