Front

What is the balanced equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.
