Back

To conduct photosynthesis.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What role do stomata play in plants?

Back

They allow for gas exchange, letting carbon dioxide in and oxygen out.

Front

What is the difference between ADP and ATP?

Back

ADP (adenosine diphosphate) has two phosphate groups, while ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups.

Front

What is the significance of the phosphate bonds in ATP?

Back

They store and release energy for cellular processes.
