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

What is the primary organelle involved in photosynthesis?

Back

The primary organelle involved in photosynthesis is the chloroplast.

Front

What are the main inputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The main inputs of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and light energy.

Front

What are the main outputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The main outputs of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

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 the primary organelle involved in cellular respiration?

Back

The primary organelle involved in cellular respiration is the mitochondria.

What are the main inputs of cellular respiration?

Back

The main inputs of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

What are the main outputs of cellular respiration?

Back

The main outputs of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected processes; the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cellular respiration, and vice versa.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.
