Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the main product of cellular respiration?

Back

The main product of cellular respiration is energy in the form of ATP.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment in chloroplasts that captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
