Front

What are the products of the light dependent reaction in photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen, ATP, NADPH

Front

OXYGEN released during photosynthesis comes from breaking down WHAT MOLECULE during the light dependent reaction?

Back

Water

Front

In Cellular Respiration, cells use energy available in food to create what energy-rich compound?

Back

ATP

Front

What are the reactants in the light independent reaction or Calvin Cycle in photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide, ATP, NADPH

Front

In what organelle does cellular respiration take place?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the overall equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
