Hour 4~Cellular Respiration & Photosynthesis

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2)

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O)

Front

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

Back

Both animals and plants

Front

Where does cellular respiration take place in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

The products of photosynthesis (C6H12O6 + O2) are the same as the reactants of cellular respiration. The products of cellular respiration (CO2 + H2O) are the same as the reactants of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs.
