What is the overall equation for respiration?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food (e.g., plants), while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy.
