Photosynthesis + 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 are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for photosynthesis.

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 main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to use energy from sunlight to produce glucose, which serves as food for the plant.

Front

What do plants need for photosynthesis to occur?

Back

Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water for photosynthesis to occur.

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 (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Why do plants need water for photosynthesis?

Back

Water is essential for photosynthesis as it is one of the raw materials used to produce glucose and oxygen.

Front

What do animals use to obtain energy?

Back

Animals obtain energy by using cellular respiration to convert glucose into ATP.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy for various cellular processes.
