Front

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The purpose of photosynthesis is to make glucose.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ in terms of carbon dioxide?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What process transforms light energy into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration cycle matter?

Back

The outputs of photosynthesis are the inputs for cellular respiration.

Front

What happens to the solution in a test tube with a plant in the light?

Back

The solution becomes more blue because the algae is doing more photosynthesis and using carbon dioxide.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the main reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The main reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.
