Energy Transformations and Homeostasis

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

Front

What type of feedback is represented by the image?

Back

Positive feedback.

Front

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

To absorb light energy.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Cytoplasm.

Front

What energy transformation occurs in plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Radiant energy is transformed into chemical energy.

Front

Define homeostasis.

Back

Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) serves as the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.

Front

What is the significance of the chloroplast in plant cells?

Back

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

Front

Explain the process of cellular respiration.

Back

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