Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

What process occurs in the cytoplasm and produces only 2 ATP molecules?

Back

Glycolysis is the process that occurs in the cytoplasm and produces 2 ATP molecules.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen (O2) and glucose (C6H12O6).

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a form of energy that cells can use, produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy.

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
