Photosynthesis and Respiration

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6)

Front

Why do plants have both chloroplasts and mitochondria?

Back

Chloroplasts make glucose, which mitochondria use to produce ATP.

Front

Where do light-dependent reactions occur in a plant cell?

Back

Thylakoid membranes.

Front

What is another name for light-independent reactions?

Back

Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose produced in photosynthesis?

Back

C6H12O6.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle).

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria in plant cells?

Back

To produce ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the significance of the thylakoid membrane?

Back

It is where light-dependent reactions take place.

Front

What are the inputs required for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and light energy.
