What is a heterotroph?

Back

A heterotroph is an organism that cannot make its own food and relies on consuming other organisms for energy.

Front

What is cancer?

Back

Cancer is the uncontrolled division of cells that can lead to the formation of tumors.

How does photosynthesis benefit heterotrophs?

Back

Photosynthesis creates food that heterotrophs can eat, providing them with energy.

Front

During DNA replication, which base pairs with adenine (A)?

Back

Thymine (T) always pairs with adenine (A) during DNA replication.

Front

What shape is a DNA molecule?

Back

A DNA molecule is shaped like a spiral staircase.

Front

What is an autotroph?

Back

An autotroph is an organism that can make its own food, typically through photosynthesis.

Front

What is a tumor?

Back

A tumor is a mass of tissue formed by the uncontrolled growth of cells, which can be benign or malignant.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, allowing photosynthesis to occur.

Front

What is the process of cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
