Photosynthesis & Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is respiration?

Back

Respiration is the process by which living organisms convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What do plants need to survive that is released by animals?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

Water, carbon dioxide, and ATP (energy).

Front

Which substance is NOT produced during cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆).

Front

What is the role of oxygen in respiration?

Back

Oxygen is needed for glucose to react and produce energy during respiration.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to produce glucose for energy and oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Which gas is not required for photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy.
