Which part of the cell is known as the 'powerhouse' because it releases energy?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

How do trees obtain energy?

Back

They produce food through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is respiration in cells?

Back

Respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Sugar (glucose) and oxygen.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back
