Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert chemical energy in glucose into usable energy in the form of ATP.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the main energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
