Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is produced during fermentation?

Back

Lactic acid or ethanol and carbon dioxide, depending on the type of fermentation.
