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, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Factors include light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability.

Front

What is the chemical formula for water?

Back

H₂O

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

What process occurs in mitochondria?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria.

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 is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more energy (ATP) than anaerobic respiration, which occurs without oxygen.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
