Study Notes

Cellular Division and Differentiation

  • Mitosis is a type of cellular division that produces genetically identical daughter cells with the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent cell
  • Cellular differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized to perform specific functions, resulting in different cell types with unique structures and functions
  • The combination of mitosis and differentiation allows for the production and maintenance of complex organisms with diverse tissues and organs

Photosynthesis and Energy Transformation

  • Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy from the sun is transformed into stored chemical energy in the form of glucose
  • This process occurs in specialized organelles called chloroplasts, present in plant cells and some other organisms
  • The energy from light is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, releasing oxygen as a byproduct
