Photosynthesis
The process of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells?
Photosynthesis
The process of transforming chemical energy from glucose into chemical energy cells can use (ATP)?
Cellular Respiration
Name one molecule that is produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration.
Oxygen (O2) or glucose
What is the chemical name for water?
H2O
Why is photosynthesis essential for maintaining oxygen levels on Earth?
Photosynthesis produces oxygen , which is necessary for the respiration of most living organisms
Which gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis to be used in the process?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Which gas is required for cellular respiration and is a product of photosynthesis?
Oxygen (O2)
Where does the energy to start photosynthesis and cellular respiration come from?
The sun / solar energy
What is the chemical name for carbon dioxide?
CO2
Why must cells perform cellular respiration?
It provides cells with the energy they need to function
What are the main products of photosynthesis
glucose and oxygen
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
What is another name for ATP?
Adenosine triphosphate or energy
What is the chemical name for oxygen?
O2
What type of organisms utilize cellular respiration versus photosynthesis
Heterotrophs use cellular respiration and autotrophs use photosynthesis
What gives plants their green pigment
chlorophyll
In which organelle does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
They are opposite equations
What is the chemical name for glucose?
C6H12O6
What is stomata and how are they important for photosynthesis
Stomata are the tiny openings in the leaf. They are important for photosynthesis by allowing carbon dioxide to flow in and oxygen to flow out.
In which organelle does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?
Chloroplasts
What are the main products of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O)
Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration have how many stages?
Two stages
What is the chemical name for energy?
ATP
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
aerobic requires oxygen and anaerobic does not require oxygen.
