Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What gas is released by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is released by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy

Front

What cell structure is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast is the cell structure responsible for photosynthesis.

Front

True or False: Cellular respiration removes carbon dioxide from the air.

Back

False. Cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the air.

Front

What term describes processes that require oxygen?

Back

Aerobic processes require oxygen.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

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 (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

During the light-dependent reactions, ATP and NADPH are produced.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis that is essential for cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is the byproduct of photosynthesis that is essential for cellular respiration.
