What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?

Back

To conduct photosynthesis and convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

Back

To produce ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

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

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

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