Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process of producing carbon dioxide, water and ATP in the mitochondria.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

A chemical process in the chloroplast of plants which produce oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is vascular tissue?

Back

In humans, it's the veins that transport blood; in plants, the xylem and phloem transport water and nutrients.

Front

What is the function of the phloem?

Back

The phloem transports food (glucose), nutrients and hormones from the leaves to the rest of the plant.

Front

What is the function of the xylem?

Back

The xylem transports water, minerals and hormones up to the leaves.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

In the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between xylem and phloem?

Back

Xylem transports water and minerals; phloem transports food and nutrients.

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.
