Front

What is the formula for cellular respiration?

Back

glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To break down food to create energy.

Front

Do both photosynthesis and cellular respiration require sunlight?

Back

False

Front

What do both autotrophs and heterotrophs break down glucose to release?

Back

ATP

Front

What happens to carbon dioxide production as physical activity increases?

Back

More carbon dioxide is produced.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What are autotrophs?

Back

Organisms that produce their own food, typically through photosynthesis.

Front

What are heterotrophs?

Back
