Cellular Energy and Processes Review

Front

Why is photosynthesis important?

Back

Photosynthesis is important because it creates oxygen for animals to breathe, produces energy for heterotrophs to use, and generates food for plants.

Front

What is respiration?

Back

Respiration is the breakdown of glucose to produce energy.

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The correct equation for cellular respiration is 6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Front

Which processes occur in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in plants.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.
