Unit 4 Review: Photosynthesis & Cell Respiration

Front

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To use energy from sunlight to produce glucose.

Front

Where does aerobic cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What are the reactants in the photosynthesis equation?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Which stage produces 2 ATP and carbon dioxide?

Back

Kreb cycle.

Front

What is a product of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is 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 cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).
