Cell Energy

Front

What is cell energy?

Back

Cell energy refers to the energy that cells use to perform various functions, including growth, reproduction, and maintenance. It is primarily derived from the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration.

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for photosynthesis to occur, allowing plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

Fermentation is a metabolic process that allows cells to break down food and produce energy without using oxygen.

Front

What is the formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6

Front

What are the two main types of cellular respiration?

Back

The two main types of cellular respiration are aerobic respiration (which uses oxygen) and anaerobic respiration (which does not use oxygen).

Front

What do plants produce during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants produce glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary energy currency of the cell?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is the byproduct of fermentation in yeast?

Back

The byproduct of fermentation in yeast is alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide.
