Front

What type of energy conversion occurs in photosynthesis?

Back

Light from the sun to chemical in glucose

Front

In which organisms does respiration occur?

Front

Why is chlorophyll green?

Back

It reflects green wavelengths of light.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)
