Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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