Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the main function of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, where cellular respiration occurs to produce energy (ATP) from glucose.

Front

What is the main function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

True or False: Only plants can perform photosynthesis.

Back

False. While plants primarily perform photosynthesis, some algae and bacteria can also carry out this process.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)
