Cellular Respiration/Photosynthesis

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to produce glucose, which serves as food for the plant, and to release oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to each other?

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.
