Unit 2: Photosynthesis & Cell Respiration

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What causes muscle soreness after intense exercise?

Back

An increase in the amount of lactic acid being produced in the muscle cells during anaerobic respiration.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration interrelated?

Back

Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

How does fermentation compare to aerobic respiration?

Back

Fermentation produces less energy than aerobic respiration.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is lactic acid?

Back

A byproduct of anaerobic respiration that can cause muscle fatigue.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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