Photosynthesis & Cell Respiration Review

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to make their own food from carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Why are photosynthesis and cellular respiration important?

Back

They are essential for life; photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose, while cellular respiration uses them to release energy.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose is the main product of photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

Back

The formula for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

They are opposites; the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cellular respiration.

Front

What is one of the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Energy is one of the products of cellular respiration.

Front

What do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What do animals release during cellular respiration?

Back

Animals release carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.
