Study Notes
Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis
- Cellular respiration is the process that converts food molecules into usable energy in cells.
- Chlorophyll plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by absorbing light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
- The products of cellular respiration are ATP (energy), water, and carbon dioxide.
- ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of cells, providing energy for various cellular activities.
- The waste product of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide, which is released into the atmosphere.
