Photosynthesis, Respiration, Cell Cycle

Front

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.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy in the presence of oxygen, where glucose is broken down to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy without oxygen, resulting in byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of phases that a cell goes through to grow and divide, including interphase (G1, S, G2) and mitotic phase (mitosis and cytokinesis).

Front

What happens during the G1 phase of interphase?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and carries out normal functions, preparing for DNA synthesis.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of interphase?

Back

During the S phase, the cell makes a copy of its DNA, ensuring that each daughter cell will have the same genetic material.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, involving stages such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.
