Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

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.

Front

What do plants need to conduct photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to conduct photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to facilitate photosynthesis.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

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 are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Which organelle is responsible for cellular respiration?

Back

The mitochondria are the organelles responsible for cellular respiration.

Front

What gas is released during cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide is released into the air during cellular respiration.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected processes; photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.
