What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is ATP?
