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

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration have opposite equations; photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What process occurs in the cytoplasm and produces only 2 ATP molecules?

Back

Glycolysis is the process that occurs in the cytoplasm and produces 2 ATP molecules.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to make glucose, which serves as energy for plants.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment in plants that captures light energy from the sun, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

The light-dependent reactions produce ATP, NADPH, and oxygen.

Front

What is the main product of cellular respiration?

Back

The main product of cellular respiration is ATP, which provides energy for cellular activities.
