Review for Combo Cell Respiration & Photosynthesis Lt/Dk Rxns

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen and glucose are the reactants that power cellular respiration.

Front

Where are chloroplasts found in a plant?

Back

Chloroplasts are found in the leaves, specifically in the palisade and spongy cells.

Front

How is ATP recharged during cellular respiration?

Back

ATP is produced through oxidative phosphorylation (Electron Transport Chain) in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the main function of the light reaction in photosynthesis?

Back

The light reaction converts light energy to NADPH and ATP chemical energy.

Front

What happens if plants cannot produce glucose?

Back

If plants cannot produce glucose, they could not grow and function.

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 photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where ATP is produced through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the significance of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH is used as a reducing agent in the Calvin cycle to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
