General Biology - Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the reactants (inputs) of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen are the reactants of cellular respiration.

Front

Oxygen is produced during which stage of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is produced during the Light Dependent Reactions.

Front

This molecule contains three phosphate groups.

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) contains three phosphate groups.

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary function of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the main byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

The main byproduct of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration also known as?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is also known as fermentation.

Front

How much ATP is produced in anaerobic respiration compared to aerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration produces less ATP than aerobic respiration.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the Light Dependent Reactions and the Light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle).

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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