Questions and Answers

What is photosynthesis?

The process that plants and some other organisms use to make food/sugar by using the sun's energy.

What types of organisms do photosynthesis?

Green plants, some bacteria, and protists.

What are two reactants needed for photosynthesis?

Water and carbon dioxide.

What are two products of photosynthesis?

Sugar and oxygen. Signup and view all the answers

What happens to the products made during photosynthesis?

The products are sent to the roots for storage until needed and oxygen exits the leaves through the stomata. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and protists convert sunlight into food (sugar).
Key reactants for photosynthesis include water and carbon dioxide.
The main products of photosynthesis are sugar and oxygen.
The products produced during photosynthesis are either transported to roots for storage or expelled as oxygen through leaf openings called stomata.
Photosynthesis occurs in specialized cell organelles known as chloroplasts.

Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration is the process through which organisms convert sugar into energy, utilizing oxygen.
All animals, plants, bacteria, certain fungi, and some protists engage in cellular respiration.
The two reactants required for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.
The three key products of cellular respiration are ATP (adenosine triphosphate), carbon dioxide, and water.
ATP generated during respiration is used for various cellular functions, while carbon dioxide and water are typically released into the atmosphere through breathing.

Fermentation

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows organisms to extract energy from food/sugar without the use of oxygen.
