Front

What are thylakoids?

Back

Thylakoids are stacked, flattened, pigment-containing membranes in chloroplasts where light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ -> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

Which organisms undergo cellular respiration?

Back

Both animals and plants undergo cellular respiration.

Front

What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work.

Front

Which type of respiration is more efficient?

Back

Aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is the role of phloem in plants?

Back

Phloem transports nutrients and sugars produced by photosynthesis throughout the plant.

Front

What is the function of stroma in chloroplasts?

Back

Stroma is the fluid-filled space in chloroplasts where the Calvin cycle occurs, synthesizing glucose from carbon dioxide.

Front

Define metabolism.

Back

Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions that occur within a living organism to maintain life.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more energy, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less energy.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various biological processes.
