Photosynthesis 1

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process in which plants make their food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar

Front

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is removed from the atmosphere.

Front

Which organelle is primarily responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for converting sunlight to energy.

Front

What do plants need for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen (O₂).

Front

Why is photosynthesis important for life on Earth?

Back

Photosynthesis produces oxygen and is the basis of the food chain, providing energy for all living organisms.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in respiration to release energy.

Front

What is the light-dependent reaction in photosynthesis?

Back

The light-dependent reactions convert sunlight into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH) and occur in the thylakoid membranes.
