Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert sugar (glucose) into energy, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

What is the primary source of energy released during cellular respiration?

Back

Sugar.

Front

Define a chemical bond.

Back

A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms that enables the formation of chemical compounds.

Front

What is carrying capacity?

Back

Carrying capacity is the maximum population size of a species that an environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other resources available.

Front

What are limiting factors in an ecosystem?

Back

Limiting factors are environmental conditions that restrict the growth, abundance, or distribution of an organism or a population of organisms.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used in cellular respiration to help convert glucose into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

What is the difference between biotic and abiotic factors?

Back

Biotic factors are living components of an ecosystem (like plants and animals), while abiotic factors are non-living components (like water, sunlight, and minerals).

Front

What is the significance of biodiversity in an ecosystem?

Back

Biodiversity contributes to ecosystem resilience, productivity, and stability, allowing ecosystems to adapt to changes.
