Front

What is the green pigment in chloroplasts that captures sunlight?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy (glucose).

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

To absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP.
