What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water, and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to each other?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. They are interconnected processes.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Front

What is the main difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food (e.g., plants), while heterotrophs obtain food by consuming other organisms.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs, producing ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the significance of the carbon cycle in relation to photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

The carbon cycle describes the movement of carbon through the environment, linking photosynthesis (which removes CO2) and cellular respiration (which releases CO2), maintaining balance in ecosystems.

Front

What distinguishes kingdom Plantae from kingdom Fungi?

Back

Kingdom Plantae consists of autotrophic organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis, while kingdom Fungi are heterotrophic and obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter.

Front

What is a mixture?

Back

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded and can be separated by physical means.
