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, and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

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 are the main reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The main reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) serves as the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various biological processes.

Front

What are nucleic acids?

Back

Nucleic acids are macromolecules made up of nucleotide monomers, which consist of a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base. They include DNA and RNA.

Front

What is the difference between active transport and passive transport?

Back

Active transport requires energy (ATP) to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves substances along their concentration gradient.

Front

What is an enzyme?

Back

An enzyme is a biological catalyst that accelerates the rate of chemical reactions in biological systems by lowering the activation energy.

Front

What factors can affect enzyme activity?

Back

Factors that can affect enzyme activity include temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors or activators.

What is the function of carbohydrates in living organisms?

Back

Carbohydrates serve as a primary energy source and are also important for structural components in cells.
