Front

What role do decomposers play in an ecosystem?

Back

Decomposers recycle nutrients, help in soil formation, and support plant growth by breaking down dead matter.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What are the main inputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The main inputs of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the main outputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The main outputs of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose (food/sugar).

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the inputs of cellular respiration?

Front

What is the function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment that captures light energy from the sun, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between producers and decomposers?

Back

Producers create their own food through photosynthesis, while decomposers break down dead organic matter.
