Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Sugar (glucose), oxygen, water.

Front

What are the reactants in photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water.

Front

What is the primary form of energy in cells?

Back

ATP.

Front

What is the green pigment in plants called?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What is the process by which sugar is converted into energy (ATP) by living organisms?

Back

Cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to each other?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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