Back

Macromolecules are large, complex molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids, that are essential for life.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to facilitate photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of DNA polymerase?

Back

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to a growing chain.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.
