Cell Energy

Front

What is ATP and its role in the body?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, used for various cellular processes.

Front

What process transforms light energy into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process that converts light energy into chemical energy in plants.

Front

Can plants survive without animals?

Back

Yes, plants can live without animals as they produce their own food through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O is the formula for cellular respiration.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce ATP, while cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide and water, which are used in photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive photosynthesis.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.
