Front

What part of a plant absorbs water for photosynthesis?

Back

Roots

Front

What is the process called when particles move across a membrane with the help of channel proteins without using energy?

Back

Facilitated diffusion

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by chromosomes lining up in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

Which organelle is essential for photosynthesis to occur in plants?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

Why is photosynthesis crucial for life on Earth?

Back

It creates oxygen for animals to breathe, energy for heterotrophs, and food for plants.

Front

What is the main function of the mitochondria in a cell?

Back

To produce energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

The movement of particles against a concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
