What is cellular respiration?

Back

A series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ in terms of carbon dioxide?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the main source of energy for all life?

Back

The sun.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the process by which plants make their own food?

Back

Photosynthesis.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce ATP.
