M. Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

Why are plants important to life on Earth?

Back

They use carbon dioxide and give us oxygen.

Front

Plants need ________ from the air for photosynthesis.

Back

carbon dioxide.

Front

The products of photosynthesis are:

Back

oxygen and sugar (glucose).

Front

What are the 3 key ingredients needed for photosynthesis?

Back

sunlight, water, carbon dioxide.

Front

Why do plants conduct photosynthesis?

Back

To make glucose.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.
