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, producing oxygen as a byproduct.
Click to flip
Where in the plant does photosynthesis typically occur?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the leaves of plants, specifically in the chloroplasts.
Click to flip
Which pigment is crucial for the process of photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Chlorophyll is the crucial pigment required for photosynthesis.
Click to flip
What are the main products of photosynthesis?
Click to flip
The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
Click to flip
What are the main reactants needed for photosynthesis to occur?
Click to flip
The main reactants needed for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.
Click to flip
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Click to flip
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Click to flip
Which gas is absorbed during photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Carbon dioxide is absorbed during photosynthesis.
Click to flip
Which gas is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
Click to flip
What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Sunlight provides the energy required to drive the photosynthesis reaction.
Click to flip
What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Chlorophyll absorbs light energy and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
Click to flip
How does photosynthesis benefit heterotrophs like humans and animals?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis produces oxygen which is essential for respiration in heterotrophs and forms the base of the food chain providing energy-rich compounds like glucose.
Click to flip
What is the importance of water in the process of photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Water provides electrons and hydrogen ions in the light-dependent reactions, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.
Click to flip
What effect does light intensity have on the rate of photosynthesis?
Click to flip
The rate of photosynthesis generally increases with an increase in light intensity, up to a certain point.
Click to flip
What is the light-dependent reaction in photosynthesis?
Click to flip
The light-dependent reaction utilizes sunlight to split water, releasing oxygen, generating ATP, and reducing NADP+ to NADPH.
Click to flip
What happens during the Calvin Cycle?
Click to flip
During the Calvin Cycle, ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions are used to produce glucose from carbon dioxide.
