Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front

Why is photosynthesis important?

Back

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

Front

What is the main source of energy for all life?

Back

The main source of energy for all life comes from the sun.

Front

Which organism goes through the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Plants only go through the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What best describes photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis converts radiant energy into chemical energy.

Front

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Front

What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?

Back

The raw materials needed for photosynthesis are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

How does photosynthesis benefit heterotrophs?

Back

Photosynthesis benefits heterotrophs by producing oxygen and food (glucose) that they rely on for energy.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
