Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that carry out photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

Do animals have chloroplasts?

Back

No, animals do not have chloroplasts; they obtain energy by consuming other organisms.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy through cellular respiration in both plants and animals.

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 cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cells?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

Which bond in ATP is broken to release energy?

Back

The bond between the second and third phosphate groups (Bond A) is broken to release energy.

Front

What is the carbon cycle?

Back

The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon is exchanged among the atmosphere, land, water, and living organisms.

Front

How do plants take in carbon dioxide?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during the process of photosynthesis.
