Front

What is the primary goal of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The primary goal of Cellular Respiration is to make ATP.

Front

Which organisms are capable of performing Photosynthesis?

Back

Only Autotrophs can perform Photosynthesis.

Front

What is the correct equation for Photosynthesis?

Back

carbon dioxide + water + sunlight --> glucose + oxygen

Front

Which organelle is responsible for making food (Glucose) using sunlight?

Back

The Chloroplast is responsible for making food (Glucose) using sunlight.

Front

Why do most plants appear green?

Back

Most plants appear green because chlorophyll reflects green light.

Front

What is Bioenergetics?

Back

Bioenergetics is the study of energy flow through living systems.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in plants?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to drive the process of photosynthesis.
