Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

In what part of the cell does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to release ATP (energy) for cellular activities.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ in terms of gas exchange?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, while cellular respiration uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What role do chlorophyll and sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which provides the energy needed for photosynthesis to occur.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy, while cellular respiration converts that chemical energy back into usable energy (ATP).
