Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis that is used by plants for energy?

Back

Glucose

Front

What is the role of oxygen in the process of cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used to help convert glucose into energy (ATP).

Front

What happens to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels if the number of trees decreases?

Back

Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels would increase.

Front

What is the energy transformation that occurs during photosynthesis?

Back

Light energy is transformed into chemical energy.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for photosynthesis.
