Products are the substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction.

Front

What gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.

Front

What is a heterotroph?

Back

A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food and must consume other organisms for energy.

Front

Which organisms undergo cellular respiration?

Back

Both animals and plants undergo cellular respiration.

Front

What is the overall equation for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs sunlight, providing the energy needed for photosynthesis.

Front

What are reactants in a chemical reaction?

Back

Reactants are the starting materials in a chemical reaction that undergo change.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular processes?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food (e.g., plants), while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy.
