Photosynthesis and Respiration Review

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants capture energy from sunlight and use it to make food molecules like glucose.

Front

What do plants produce during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the main pigment involved in photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb sunlight.

Front

What is respiration?

Back

Respiration is the process by which living organisms break down food molecules to release energy.

Front

How are photosynthesis and respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis and respiration are opposite processes; photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The purpose of cellular respiration is to make energy for all living organisms.

Front

What do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide and water during photosynthesis.

Front

What do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

Do animals perform photosynthesis?

Back

No, animals do not perform photosynthesis; they rely on consuming plants or other animals for energy.
