Define Bioenergetics.

Back

Bioenergetics is the study of the transformation of energy in living organisms.

Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?

Back

To conduct photosynthesis and produce glucose.

Front

What are autotrophs?

Back

Organisms that produce their own food using sunlight or chemical energy.
