Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front

Where do the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place?

Back

The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place in the stroma of chloroplasts.

Front

What molecule provides energy to cells and is produced during cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the molecule that provides energy to cells and is produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What process involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process that involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What do animals need from the air for cellular respiration?

Back

Animals need oxygen from the air for cellular respiration.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

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 drive the process of photosynthesis.

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 the primary product of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary product of photosynthesis is glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆).
