Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What gas is released by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is released by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

If the amount of carbon dioxide is increased, what happens to the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis increases.

Front

What is the goal of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The goal of Cellular Respiration is to make ATP.

Front

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The purpose of photosynthesis is to make glucose.

Front

What is the relationship between light distance and the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

The less distance between the light and the algae, the greater the rate of photosynthesis.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
