What is photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
Click to flip
Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
Click to flip
What is the main pigment involved in photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Chlorophyll is the main pigment involved in photosynthesis.
Click to flip
Which part of the plant primarily absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis?
Click to flip
The leaves primarily absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.
Click to flip
What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?
Click to flip
The raw materials needed for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
Click to flip
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Click to flip
The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
Click to flip
What gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
Click to flip
What gas is released by plants during photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Oxygen is released by plants during photosynthesis.
Click to flip
How does water reach the leaves for photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Water is absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves through the xylem.
Click to flip
Why is photosynthesis important for the environment?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis is important because it produces oxygen, which is needed for most life forms to breathe, and it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Click to flip
What is a simple equation that represents photosynthesis?
Click to flip
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Click to flip
Which organisms, other than plants, also perform photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Algae and some bacteria also perform photosynthesis.
Click to flip
How do stomata function in photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Stomata are small openings on leaves that allow for gas exchange; they let carbon dioxide in and oxygen out.
Click to flip
During which part of the day does photosynthesis usually occur?
Click to flip
Photosynthesis usually occurs during the daylight when sunlight is available.
Click to flip
What name is given to organisms that can produce their own food through photosynthesis?
Click to flip
Organisms that can produce their own food through photosynthesis are called autotrophs.
