Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

What does CO2 mean?

Back

CO2 stands for carbon dioxide, a gas essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The purpose of photosynthesis is to store energy in the form of glucose.

Front

In what part of the chloroplast do the light-dependent reactions occur?

Back

The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.

Front

Where does cellular respiration take place in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

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 (adenosine triphosphate), which provides energy for cellular activities.
