Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then release waste products.

Front

What are autotrophs?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
