Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

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 series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons and pump protons to create ATP.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.
