What is the function of Phloem in plants?

Back

Phloem is the living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant.

Front

What does ATP stand for?

Back

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.

Front

How many ATP molecules are produced in the Kreb's Cycle?

Back

The Kreb's Cycle produces 2 ATP molecules.

Front

What type of reactions in photosynthesis require light energy?

Back

Light dependent reactions require light energy.

Front

What are the Dark Reactions (Calvin Cycle) in photosynthesis?

Back

Dark Reactions (Calvin Cycle) are reactions that do not require light but use energy produced in light reactions and carbon dioxide to make glucose.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are autotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food using light or chemical energy, such as plants.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
