What is the purpose of the stomata?

Back

The purpose of the stomata is to facilitate gas exchange and regulate water loss in plants.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where the final stages of cellular respiration occur, producing ATP.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP).
