Front

What is the primary energy carrier in cells?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

What is anaerobic cellular respiration?

Back

Anaerobic cellular respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen.

Front

Where does the initial stage of glucose breakdown occur in the cell?

Back

The initial stage of glucose breakdown occurs in the cytoplasm.

Front

What role does carbon dioxide play in photosynthesis?

Back

Plants use carbon dioxide to synthesize glucose.

Front

What is the main function of mitochondria?

Back

The main function of mitochondria is to produce energy in the form of ATP.

Front

Define ATP.

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that carries energy within cells.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, using carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose, occurring in the cytoplasm, producing pyruvate and ATP.
