Front

What organisms go through cellular respiration?

Back

Both animals and plants.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ → ATP + CO₂ + H₂O

Front

When do desert plants open stomata to absorb carbon dioxide?

Back

At night.

Front

What bond of the ATP molecule is broken to release energy?

Back

The bond labeled A.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

A process that converts glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce ATP.

Front

What is the main purpose of stomata in plants?

Back

Stomata allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of breaking the phosphate bond in ATP?

Back

Breaking the bond releases energy that can be used for cellular processes.
