Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What is Photosynthesis?
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
What is Cellular Respiration?
Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules or nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, and then release waste products.
What Is Glucose?
Glucose is the main molecule our bodys use for energy. We can Not live without it.
What is Stroma?
photosynthesis is commenced before the chemical changes are completed in the stroma. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages.
How is photosynthesis and plants respiration related?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.
How is photosynthesis and plants respiration different?
While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. … While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
How is photosynthesis and cellular respiration similar?
The two processes are similar in that they both produce energy, albeit in two different forms. … The win-win of the two processes is that they both provide each other with the necessary ingredients for the process to take place: glucose and oxygen for cellular respiration, carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis.
How is photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.
What is Chloroplast ?
A plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
What is Carbon Dioxide ?
A heavy odorless colorless gas formed during respiration and by the decomposition of organic substances; absorbed from the air by plants in photosynthesis.
What is Environment?
Animal cells need an aerobic environment (one with oxygen).
