Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Definition of photosynthesis
process which green plant, algae, and some bacteria capture light to form simple sugars
What is used for photosynthesis
water and carbon dioxide
What is the byproduct of photosynthesis
oxygen gas
Definition of cellular respiration
process that breaks down glucose to provide energy in the form of ATP for metabolic processes
Cellular respiration is by used what organisms
producers and consumers
What is adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
high energy storing molecule in cells
What is ATP composed of
one adenosine molecule and three phosphate groups
What is adenosine comprised of
adenine and ribose sugar
ATP is present in all living …….
organisms
ATP fuels activities within a ……..
cell
Photosynthesis captures ……..from the ……..and stores it as ……….
energy;sun;glucose
Photosynthesis reaction equation
6CO2 + 6H2O + energy —> 6O2 + C6H12O6
C6H12O6
glucose
Light-dependent reactions
chloroplasts capture solar energy, water molecules are split, electrons are transported, H+ ions are released and ATP is made
Light-independent reactions
Calvin Cycle
