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
