Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Front

What is the main organelle where photosynthesis occurs?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

What are the two main cycles of photosynthesis?

Back

Light dependent and Calvin cycle (light independent)

Front

Where does the light dependent cycle of photosynthesis take place?

Back

Thylakoids

Front

What type of fermentation occurs in muscles during strenuous exercise?

Back

Lactic acid fermentation

Front

Where does the Calvin cycle (light independent cycle) occur?

Back

Stroma

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
