Photosynthesis+ respiration Flashcards
what is the process of photosynthesis?
plant cells capture energy from sunlight and use it to combine carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen
word equation for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide+water –> oxygen+glucose
what is respiration?
glucose and oxygen converted to carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP for life processes
word equation for respiration?
gluscose+oxygen–> carbon dioxide+ water + ATP
energy from respiration is released quickly/slowly in small/large amounts
slowly, small
aerobic respiration requires ____
oxygen
what does aerobic respiration do?
removes O2 from the air, returns CO2 to air and provides energy in form of ATP
where does aerobic respiration take place in?
mitochondria
what does ATP stand for
adenosine triphosphate
anaerobic respiration is with/without oxygen
without
which produces more energy in form of ATP: aerobic or anaerobic?
aerobic
