Photosynthesis and cellular respiration Flashcards
What is photosynthesis?
The chemical reaction in which plants make food (glucose/sugar) using energy from the sun.
Photosynthesis is done by: q
plants
the goal of this process is to make ________ (food for the cell)
glucose/sugar
photosynthesis: the starting materials are ________ and ________.
carbon dioxide (6CO2) and water (6H2O)
photosynthesis: the ending materials are ________ and ________.
glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (6O2)
there must be energy from the ________ for photosynthesis to occur
sun
Photosynthesis occurs in which organelle?
chloroplasts
What is respiration?
the process by which cells take the energy from glucose
cellular respiration is done by:
both plants and animals
the goal of this process is to break ________ (food for the cell)
glucose/sugar
cellular respiration: the starting materials are ________ and ________.
glucose (C6H1206) and oxygen (6O2)
cellular respiration: the product is ________ and ________.
carbon dioxide (6CO2) and water (6H2O).
cellular respiration occurs in which organelle?
the mitochondria
what reaction is this?: 6CO2 + 6H2O —-> (sunlight) —-> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Photosynthesis
what reaction is this?: 6O2 + C6H12O6 —-> (energy) —-> 6CO2 + 6H2O
