Front

What is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll?

Back

Photosynthesis.

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆.

Front

Where does the substrate bind on an enzyme?

Back

Active site.

Front

What type of pathways consume energy to build polymers from monomers?

Back

Anabolic pathways.

Front

What type of macromolecule are enzymes?

Back

Proteins.

Front

What is the primary function of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) in photosynthesis?

Back

It acts as a carbon dioxide acceptor in the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is released as a byproduct during the light reactions.

Front

What is the difference between catabolic and anabolic pathways?

Back

Catabolic pathways break down molecules and release energy, while anabolic pathways build molecules and consume energy.

Front

What is the significance of the active site on an enzyme?

Back

It is the region where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.

Front

What are the products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

ATP, NADPH, and O₂.
