Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration S2 Flashcards
What is Photosynthesis?
The process where the chloroplasts use the energy from the sunlight to make glucose from CO2 and H20.
In what organelle does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplasts
What kind of energy is trapped by the chloroplasts to be used for photosynthesis?
Sunlight/ Light Energy
During photosynthesis, ___________ energy is converted to ___________ energy.
Light;Chemical
What are the Reactants of photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H20 + Light Energy
What are the Products of photosynthesis?
C6H1206 + 6O2
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy –> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is the written formula for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide Plus Water Plus Light Energy Yields Glucose Plus Oxygen
What is cellular respiration?
The process where organisms obtain energy from food (In this case it is from Glucose)
In what organelle does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
What are the Reactants of Cellular Respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2
What are the products of cellular respiration?
6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
What is the chemical formula of Cellular Respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
What is the written chemical formula of Cellular Respiration?
Glucose Plus Oxygen Yields Carbon Dioxide Plus Water Plus Energy
What food is produced during photosynthesis? Why is this important for the plant?
Glucose; The energy from Glucose is used by the plant cells.
