Photosynthesis Basics
The process that plants use to make food.
What is photosynthesis?
The organelle that is responsible for cellular respiration.
What are mitochondria?
The sugar made during photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
Where does photosynthesis occur in the cell?
What is chloroplast?
True/False: Photosynthesis makes oxygen
True
The gas that plants release during photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
The main purpose of cellular respiration.
What is making ATP?
The molecule that carries energy in cells.
What is ATP?
True/False: Plants only do photosynthesis
False
The gas that plants take in during photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
The reactants of cellular respiration.
What is glucose + oxygen?
The equation for photosynthesis.
What is CO₂ + H₂O + sunlight → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
What are light reactions & the Calvin cycle?
Why are photosynthesis and cellular respiration connected?
The products of one are the reactants of the other
The main energy source for photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
The products of cellular respiration.
What is carbon dioxide + water + ATP
The equation for cellular respiration.
What is C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + ATP?
What happens during the light reactions?
Sunlight is converted into chemical energy (ATP & NADPH)
Why is ATP important?
It provides energy for cell activities
