Cellular Energy EOC Practice

Front

What environmental factors affect photosynthesis in plants?

Back

Light intensity and temperature changes.

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP is used as an energy source for cell processes.

Front

What happens to a plant's sugar production if carbon dioxide is removed from its environment?

Back

Fewer sugars will be produced.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process that breaks down food molecules to release stored energy.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are high-energy sugars?

Back

High-energy sugars are carbohydrates produced during photosynthesis that store energy for the plant.
