Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Where do the reactions of photosynthesis take place in autotrophs?

Back

Chloroplasts.

Front

What is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

What role do roots play in photosynthesis?

Back

Roots absorb water from the soil, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

True or False: Cellular respiration occurs only in animal cells.

Back

False. Cellular respiration occurs in both plant and animal cells.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy for various cellular processes.

Front

How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the air through small openings in their leaves called stomata.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
