Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the green pigment (coloring) found in chloroplasts in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in chloroplasts that is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

Which organisms perform Photosynthesis?

Back

Only Autotrophs, such as plants and some algae, perform photosynthesis.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

Plants make their own food called?

Back

Plants make their own food called glucose through the process of photosynthesis.

Front

When does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs all the time, both day and night.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

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, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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