Front

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is a mean in statistics?

Back

The mean is the average value of a set of numbers, calculated by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the count of numbers.

Front

What is the role of proteins in the cell membrane?

Back

Proteins in the cell membrane facilitate the transport of large molecules in and out of the cell and play a role in cell signaling.

Front

What is a disinfectant?

Back

A disinfectant is a chemical agent used to destroy or inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms on surfaces.

Front

What is the importance of a control variable in an experiment?

Back

A control variable is important because it ensures that the experiment tests only the effect of the independent variable, providing valid results.

Front

What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative data?

Back

Qualitative data describes characteristics or qualities (e.g., color, texture), while quantitative data involves numerical measurements (e.g., height, weight).

Front

What is the scientific method?

Back

The scientific method is a systematic process for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.

Front

What is the significance of a hypothesis in scientific research?

Back

A hypothesis is a testable prediction that provides a basis for experimentation and helps guide the research process.

Front

What are decomposers and their role in an ecosystem?

Back

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organic material, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.

Front

What is the function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.
