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 the main organelle involved in photosynthesis?

Back

The main organelle involved in photosynthesis is the chloroplast.

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 are the inputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The inputs of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Front

What are the outputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The outputs of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected processes; photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role does carbon dioxide play in photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis and is used to produce glucose.

Front

What role does oxygen play in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used in cellular respiration to help convert glucose into energy.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
