Front

What is the end product of the Calvin cycle?

Back

Sugar (Glucose)

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and Oxygen

Front

Which types of organisms perform cellular respiration?

Back

Autotrophs and Heterotrophs

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

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.
