Bioenergetics Review

Front

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

In what part of the cell does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is CO2 + H2O → O2 + C6H12O6.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into 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 relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy, while cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide and water, which are used in photosynthesis.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.

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 produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

The light-dependent reactions produce ATP, NADPH, and oxygen.
