In the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To produce ATP energy for the cell.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

A process that converts glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

A process used by plants to convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in plants?

Back

They are the site of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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