Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis takes place, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What happens to an enzyme if its shape changes due to environmental conditions?

Back

If the shape of an enzyme changes, it will no longer be able to catalyze the reaction with its specific substrate.

Front

Write the equation for photosynthesis.

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar

Front

What process is represented by the equation: C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + energy?

Back

This equation represents cellular respiration.

Front

Which factor does NOT directly affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen concentration does not directly affect the rate of photosynthesis.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is the role of light in photosynthesis?

Back

Light provides the energy needed to drive the reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

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 significance of the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is significant because it uses ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
