Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis takes place in plant cells.

Front

What are the products in the photosynthesis equation?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What are the products in the cellular respiration equation?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

What is the balanced equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The balanced equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

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 role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which captures light energy needed for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

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

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, carbon dioxide, and water.
