Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin Cycle in photosynthesis?

Back

The Calvin Cycle uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into glucose.
