Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce their own food.

Front

What is the best description of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the transfer of matter and the flow of energy between the plant and its environment.

Front

Which organelle is found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

Back

Chloroplast.

Front

Define an anabolic reaction.

Back

An anabolic reaction builds larger molecules and absorbs energy.

Front

How do enzymes affect reactions in living cells?

Back

Enzymes affect the speed of the reaction.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the difference between anabolic and catabolic reactions?

Back

Anabolic reactions build larger molecules and require energy, while catabolic reactions break down larger molecules and release energy.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.
