The Importance of Plants and Biomass Quiz

Cellular Energy

• Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy from glucose in cells.

Photosynthesis

• The chemical reaction that enables plants to build larger molecules such as glucose is photosynthesis.

Biomolecules

• The primary material living things are made of is organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Photosynthetic Organelles

• Most photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, which are organelles found in plant cells.

Energy Source

• The main source of energy for the process of building biomass in plant cells is light energy from the sun, which is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
