What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis in plants?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis in plants is to make glucose.

Front

What are embryonic stem cells?

Back

Embryonic stem cells are cells that can differentiate into more cell types than adult stem cells.

Front

What is the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells?

Back

Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than adult stem cells.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

Back

The chloroplast is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in the cell?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they produce ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the significance of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is a key energy source that is broken down during cellular respiration to produce ATP.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.
