Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a form of energy that cells can use, produced by cellular respiration.

Front

Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from?

Back

The energy that starts the process of photosynthesis comes from sunlight.

Front

How is energy from the sun transferred to animals?

Back

The sun's energy is transformed into food by plants, and animals eat plants to transform that food into energy.

Front

What do plants need from the air for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis.

Front

What do plants give off after photosynthesis?

Back

Plants give off oxygen after photosynthesis.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

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 relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy in glucose, while cellular respiration converts that chemical energy into usable energy (ATP) for cells.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
