Front

Define Photosynthesis.

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

Define Cellular Respiration.

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of Chlorophyll in Photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the equation for Photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
