Back

glycolysis

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

A series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

A sequence of protein complexes and other molecules that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions.
