photosynthesis+cellular respiration test study cards

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

To convert light energy into chemical energy

Where does photosynthesis occur?

In the chloroplast of plant cells

What pigment absorbs light for photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll

What are the reactants of photosynthesis

Carbon dioxide, water, light energy

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Glucose and oxygen

What are the two stages of photosynthesis?

Light-dependent reactions and Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions)

Where do light-dependent reactions occur?

In the thylakoid membranes

Where does the Calvin cycle occur?

In the stroma of the chloroplast

What is produced in the light-dependent reactions?

Oxygen, ATP, and NADPH

What does the Calvin cycle produce?

Glucose (Using oxygen, ATP, and NADPH)

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

To break down glucose to make ATP

Where does cellular respiration occur?

Mitochondria (Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm)

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Glucose and oxygen

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and Electron transport chain

Where does glycolysis occur?

In the cytoplasm

Where does the Krebs cycle occur?

In the mitochondria (matrix)

What does the electron transport chain require?

Oxygen

Which stage makes the most ATP?

The electron transport chain

Cellular respiration releases energy from which molecule?

Glucose

What type of respiration occurs without oxygen?

Anaerobic respiration

What does fermentation produce in muscles?

Lactic acid

What does fermentation produce in yeast?

Alcohol and carbon dioxide
