What is photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.
Click to flip
Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
Click to flip
What are the main reactants needed for photosynthesis?
Click to flip
The main reactants are carbon dioxide and water.
Click to flip
What is the main product of photosynthesis?
Click to flip
The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.
Click to flip
What gas is released during photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Oxygen is released during photosynthesis.
Click to flip
What pigment is essential for photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Chlorophyll is the essential pigment for photosynthesis.
Click to flip
Why is photosynthesis important for the environment?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis is important because it releases oxygen into the atmosphere and provides energy for plants and other organisms.
Click to flip
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Click to flip
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Click to flip
How does light affect photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Light provides the energy needed to drive the chemical reactions of photosynthesis.
Click to flip
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
Click to flip
The two stages are the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).
Click to flip
What role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and organize the enzymes and structures needed for photosynthesis.
Click to flip
How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Plants take in carbon dioxide through small openings called stomata on their leaves.
Click to flip
Can photosynthesis occur without sunlight?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis cannot occur without sunlight, as light is necessary to drive the process.
Click to flip
Which organisms, besides plants, can perform photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Some algae and bacteria can also perform photosynthesis.
Click to flip
How does photosynthesis contribute to the food chain?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis produces glucose, which is a source of energy and food for plants and other organisms in the food chain.
