Cell Organelles, Photosynthesis and Cellular Resp.

Front

What is the powerhouse of the cell?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the function of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall is a rigid layer that provides structural support and protection to plant cells, lying outside the cell membrane.

Front

Which organelle converts food into energy?

Back

Mitochondria convert food into energy through the process of cellular respiration.

Front

What process produces the most ATP?

Back

Aerobic respiration produces the most ATP compared to other processes like anaerobic respiration and glycolysis.

Front

What do plants need for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to perform photosynthesis, which produces glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is a process that requires oxygen to convert glucose into ATP, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in the cell, translating messenger RNA into polypeptide chains.
