Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light reactions and the Calvin cycle

Front

Where do plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis?

Back

From sunlight

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ in terms of carbon dioxide?

Back

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

Front

What gas is released by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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