Front

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

Back

Photosynthesis.

Front

What are the main inputs required for photosynthesis?

Back

Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and light energy.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2) and glucose (C6H12O6).

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

In the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the main inputs required for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

Energy (ATP), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O).

Front

Where does cellular respiration primarily take place in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.
