Lecture Notes on Key Concepts

This flashcard set covers key concepts such as photosynthesis, cell respiration, ecosystems, biodiversity, and climate change.

Photosynthesis

The process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Cell respiration

The metabolic process in which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Ecosystem

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.

Biodiversity

The variety of life in the world or a particular habitat or ecosystem.

Climate change

Long-term alteration in temperature and typical weather patterns in a place.
