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

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What factor affects the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Temperature

Front

What is the overall equation for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)

Front

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions)

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

How does temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Higher temperatures can increase the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain point, after which it may decrease due to enzyme denaturation.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

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