Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the reactants in the photosynthesis equation?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the balanced equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

True or False: Photosynthesis produces ATP that plant cells can use for energy.

Back

False.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts.

Front

What are the products in the photosynthesis equation?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll, primarily converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

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 photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then release waste products.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in all living organisms, providing energy for various cellular functions.
