  1. What is photosynthesis?

    Answer: Converting light energy to chemical energy stored in glucose

    Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, CO₂, and water into glucose and oxygen. The overall equation is: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

  2. Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

    Answer: Chloroplasts

    Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, which contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy that drives the photosynthetic reactions.

  3. What are the products of aerobic cellular respiration?

    Answer: Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

    Aerobic cellular respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP. The products are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).

  4. What is the role of chlorophyll?

    Answer: To absorb light energy for photosynthesis

    Chlorophyll is the green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy (primarily red and blue wavelengths) to drive photosynthesis. It reflects green light, which is why plants appear green.

  5. What is the basic unit of heredity?

    Answer: Gene

    A gene is the basic unit of heredity. It is a segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein or functional RNA molecule, and it determines a particular trait.

  6. What does DNA stand for?

    Answer: Deoxyribonucleic Acid

    DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is the molecule that carries genetic information in all living organisms and many viruses.
