Front

Where does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

What are the 3 reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide, sunlight, water

Front

The process by which living organisms release energy from glucose molecules, often using oxygen.

Back

Respiration

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen

Front

What is the role of stomata in photosynthesis?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange (CO2 in, O2 out).

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food (e.g., plants), while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy (e.g., animals).

Front

What organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell?

Back

Mitochondria
