Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Front

What type of cellular respiration is completed with oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy in the presence of oxygen.

Front

In which organisms does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in both plants and animals.

Front

What type of cellular respiration is completed without oxygen?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy without oxygen.

Front

Where does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.

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 the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The chemical equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.
