What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into glucose.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in plant cells?

Back

Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, converting glucose into ATP.

Front

Why do plants need both chloroplasts and mitochondria?

Back

Chloroplasts produce glucose through photosynthesis, which mitochondria use to generate ATP.

Front

What does ATP stand for?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate.

Front

What is the primary role of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What type of respiration requires oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration where glucose is broken down to produce energy.

Front

What are the end products of glycolysis?

Back

The end products of glycolysis are pyruvate, ATP, and NADH.

Front

What is the Krebs cycle?

Back

The Krebs cycle is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows cells to produce energy without oxygen.
