Photosynthesis and Respiration

Front

What is the pigment in chloroplasts that performs photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in chloroplasts that captures light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of thylakoids in photosynthesis?

Back

Thylakoids are membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.

Front

What type of respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen?

Back

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

Front

Where does the electron transport chain occur in photosynthesis?

Back

The electron transport chain occurs between Photosystem 2 and Photosystem 1 in the thylakoid membrane.

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

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

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
