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.

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 is Fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows cells to produce energy without oxygen, resulting in products like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

Where does Glycolysis occur?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is the net gain of ATP from Glycolysis?

Back

The net gain of ATP from Glycolysis is 2 ATP.

Front

What are the end products of Glycolysis?

Back

The end products of Glycolysis are 2 pyruvic acid molecules, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.

Front

What is the role of Chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment that absorbs light energy, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The Calvin Cycle is the second stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions.

Front

What are the products of aerobic respiration?

Back

The products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
