Front

What type of reactions release energy and are catabolic?

Back

Exergonic

Front

What is the physical site of photosynthesis in plants?

Back

Leaves

Front

Is the Krebs cycle the first stage of cellular respiration?

Back

False, the first stage is Glycolysis.

Front

What is the internal fluid where CO2 is converted into sugar during photosynthesis?

Back

Stroma

Front

What structure in plants is responsible for gas exchange, bringing in CO2 and releasing O2?

Back

Stomata

Front

What is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?

Back

To produce energy carriers (NADH and FADH2) for the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

To absorb light energy.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
