What is the main process that occurs in photosynthesis?

The main process that occurs in photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

What is the function of ATP in cells?

ATP serves as a source of energy for many cellular processes, such as muscle contractions and protein synthesis.

What is the process of mitosis?

Mitosis is the process by which a eukaryotic cell divides its chromosomes equally into two daughter nuclei.

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

DNA is a double-stranded molecule that contains genetic information, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule that helps convert that information into proteins.

What is the function of enzymes in biological reactions?

Enzymes catalyze or speed up chemical reactions that would otherwise take longer or not occur at all due to high activation energy barriers.

What is the process of cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and generally have a simpler structure than eukaryotic cells, which have a nucleus and often contain membrane-bound organelles.

What are the three types of muscle tissue?

The three types of muscle tissue are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.

What is the function of the circulatory system?

The circulatory system is responsible for transporting nutrients, oxygen, and waste products throughout the body.

What is the process of meiosis?

Meiosis is the process by which a eukaryotic cell divides its chromosomes into four haploid daughter cells with unique genetic combinations.

What is the difference between complete and incomplete dominance?

Complete dominance occurs when one allele completely masks another, while incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate between those of the two homozygotes.

What is the function of the digestive system?

The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.

What is the difference between positive and negative feedback mechanisms?

Positive feedback mechanisms amplify or reinforce a change in the body, while negative feedback mechanisms dampen or counteract a change in the body.

What is the structure of DNA?

DNA consists of two twisted strands of nucleotides that form a double helix.

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not. Additionally, plant cells often have a larger vacuole than animal cells.
