Unit 2 Test Part B: Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, gets excited, and that energy is used to make glucose.

Front

What happens to green grass when it is covered with a tent for two weeks?

Back

The grass turns brown due to lack of water and sunlight.

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

Cellular respiration is the breakdown of glucose to release ATP.

Front

How do respiration and photosynthesis contribute to the oxygen cycle?

Back

Respiration removes oxygen from the atmosphere, while photosynthesis puts oxygen into the atmosphere.

Front

What does the equation Sunlight + 6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2 represent?

Back

This equation represents photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary product of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary product of photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproduct of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular activities.
