Front

True or false: Plants get their energy from photosynthesis.

Back

False; plants convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.

Front

What type of cellular respiration occurs in the cytoplasm?

Back

Anaerobic Cellular Respiration

Front

How does photosynthesis affect the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere?

Back

Photosynthesis decreases the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
