Day 1: Cell Energy Overview

Front

How do animals obtain glucose?

Back

Animals obtain glucose primarily through food.

Front

How do plants obtain glucose?

Back

Plants obtain glucose through the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main goal of cellular respiration?

Back

The main goal of cellular respiration is to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy.

Front

What role does glucose play in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is a primary fuel source for cellular respiration, providing the energy needed to produce ATP.

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis.
