What is 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 gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2) are the main products of photosynthesis.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the main product of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O) are the main products of cellular respiration.

Front

What organelle is responsible for cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs.

Front

What is an organelle?

Back

Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions.

Front

What is the function of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and protection to plant cells.

Front

What is the function of the vacuole in plant cells?

Back

The vacuole stores water, nutrients, and waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure.
