Front

What is a hypertonic solution?

Back

A solution that has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food (e.g., plants), while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy (e.g., animals).
