Flashcards: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration — 10 cards

Photosynthesis — overview?

Converts light into chemical energy in plants.

Photosynthesis — process?

Converts light into chemical energy in glucose.

Light-dependent reactions — role?

Produce ATP and NADPH using light energy.

Chlorophyll — role?

Absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Calvin Cycle — function?

Synthesizes glucose from CO₂ using ATP and NADPH.

Chloroplasts — location?

Organelles where photosynthesis occurs.

Light-dependent reactions — stage?

Convert light energy into ATP and NADPH.

Calvin Cycle — process?

Uses ATP, NADPH to fix CO2 into G3P.

Cellular respiration — process?

Converts glucose into ATP energy.

Glycolysis — step?

Splits glucose into pyruvate, produces ATP.
