PHOTOSYNTHESIS Flashcards
the process by which plants, algae, and some
bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by
which plants, algae, and some
bacteria convert ______ energy into
______ energy in the form of
_______.
light, chemical, glucose
This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells and is essential for producing the oxygen and organic molecules needed by most life forms.
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis occurs in
the _________ of plant cells and
is essential for producing the
______ and _______ molecules
needed by most life forms.
chloroplasts, oxygen, organic
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.
chemical equation for photosynthesis
6CO₂
represents six molecules of carbon dioxide, which plants take in from the atmosphere.
6H₂O
Represents six molecules of water, which plants absorb from the soil.
C₆H₁₂O₆
Represents one molecule of glucose, a sugar that plants use for energy.
6O₂
Represents six molecules of oxygen, which is released as a byproduct
________ ___________ the process
by which cells break down
glucose to produce ATP, the
main energy source for cellular
activities.
Cellular respiration
Cellular respiration is the process
by which cells break down
_______ to produce ___, the
main energy source for cellular
activities.
glucose, ATP
Cellular respiration occurs in both ________ (with oxygen) and _________ (without oxygen)
conditions.
aerobic, anaerobic
(with oxygen)
aerobic
(without oxygen)
anaerobic
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
