Back

Gene map B.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Define activation energy in the context of chemical reactions.

Back

The minimum amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction.

Front

What are thylakoids?

Back

Membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.
