Sections

  • 1

    Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some organisms convert light energy into chemical energy stored as glucose.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.1

    What Is Photosynthesis?

    Photosynthesis is the process where green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored as glucose.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.2

    Word And Chemical Equation Of Photosynthesis

    This section outlines the word and chemical equations that represent the process of photosynthesis, highlighting its essential reactants and products.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.3

    The Role Of Chloroplasts

    Chloroplasts are vital organelles in plant cells that facilitate the capture of light energy for photosynthesis.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.4

    Stages Of Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis consists of light-dependent and light-independent reactions that transform light energy into chemical energy.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.5

    Factors Affecting Photosynthesis

    This section discusses the three primary factors that influence the rate of photosynthesis: light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature.

    Learning Practice

  • 2

    Cellular Respiration

    Cellular respiration is the process through which organisms break down glucose to release energy, highlighting the distinction between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.1

    What Is Respiration?

    Respiration is the biochemical process of breaking down glucose to release energy for cellular functions, occurring in all living cells.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.2

    Types Of Respiration

    This section covers the mechanisms of aerobic and anaerobic respiration, highlighting their differences, processes, and significance for energy production in living organisms.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.2.A

    Aerobic Respiration

    Aerobic respiration is the biochemical process that requires oxygen to break down glucose, producing carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.2.B

    Anaerobic Respiration (Fermentation)

    Anaerobic respiration, or fermentation, occurs in the absence of oxygen and yields less energy than aerobic respiration.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.3

    The Role Of Mitochondria

    Mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of the cell, are vital for aerobic respiration and energy production.

    Learning Practice

  • 3

    Atp – The Energy Currency

    ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is crucial for energy storage and transfer in biological systems.

    Learning Practice

  • 4

    Interdependence Of Photosynthesis And Respiration

    This section explains the interdependence of photosynthesis and respiration, showcasing how the products of one process serve as the reactants for the other.
