Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms 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

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

In the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).
