Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Review Flashcards
Photosynthesis
The process where plants or producers make sugars like glucose using the suns light energy
Photosynthesis balanced equation
6CO2 + 6H2O yields with sunlight and chlorophyll C6H12O6 +6o2
Photosynthesis reactants
Carbon dioxide and water
Photosynthesis products
Glucose and oxygen
Photosynthesis light reaction
Water is split into hydrogen and oxygen molecules
Light reaction occurs in
Grana/thylakoids
Light reaction reactants
Water and sunlight
Light reaction products
Hydrogen and oxygen
Dark reaction
Hydrogen and carbon dioxide combine to form glucose
Dark reaction occurs in
Stroma
Dark reaction reactants
Hydrogen and carbon dioxide
Dark reaction products
Glucose
What organisms perform photosynthesis
Plants/autotrophs/producers/photosynthetic organisms
What would happen without sunlight
Producers would not be able to make sugar to use as food and would die off
Heterotrophs would not be able to get energy and would die off
Cellular respiration
The process where mitochondria breaks down sugars or glucose to make energy
Cellular respiration balanced equation
C6H12O6+6O2 yields 6CO2+6H2O+36 ATP
