Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration to power cellular activities.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
