Unit 3: ATP/ADP, Cellular Respiration, & Photosynthesis Review

Front

Where does the dark reaction (light independent) specifically occur?

Back

Stroma of the chloroplast

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

Front

Which organisms perform Photosynthesis?

Back

Only Autotrophs

Front

Which organisms can perform Cellular Respiration?

Back

Autotrophs and Heterotrophs

Front

What is the name of the low energy molecule of the cell?

Back

ADP

Front

What is ATP?

Back

A high-energy molecule that stores and provides energy for cellular processes.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and release waste products.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food (e.g., plants), while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy (e.g., animals).
