Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants 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

What role do producers play in an ecosystem?

Back

Producers, like plants, create their own food through photosynthesis and provide energy for consumers.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cells?

Back

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