Slides One: Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration Flashcards
(41 cards)
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis in words
Carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
What is photosynthesis
The process by which plants take the suns energy and create energy rich compounds
What is cellular respiration
Cells breaking down energy rich compounds (carbs) to create ATP
What is another term for glucose
Carbohydrate
What is another term for cellular respiration
Is the opposite of photosynthesis
What does Aerobic mean
Lots of oxygen
What is the chemical formula for cellular respiration
O2 + C6H12O6 = H2O + CO2 + ATP
What is the chemical formula for cellular respiration in words
Oxygen + Glucose = Water + Carbon Dioxide + ATP
What are chloroplasts
Have two membranes, filled with disks and an inner solution
What formation occurs in chloroplasts
Photosynthesis

Chloroplasts
What are thylakoids
Flattened disks that have chlorophyll with absorbs light energy for photosynthesis

Chloroplasts
What are granums
Stacks of thylakoids
What is the job of chloroplasts
Photosynthesis
What are microcondria
Rod shaped organells that break down carbs into ATP
What organ is the matrix located in
Microcondria
What is the job of the matrix
Fluid filled space that has proteins and chemicals that break down carbs
