Photosynthesis and Respiration

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is one of the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What chemical reaction has almost the same products and reactants as cellular respiration but reversed?

Back

Photosynthesis.

Front

What is the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis at point C if light intensity is increasing?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis is constant.

Front

What type of respiration requires oxygen?

Back

Aerobic.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

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 role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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