Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

In the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To break down glucose and capture energy in the form of ATP.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?
