Photosynthesis

Front

What gas goes into the plant before photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is the gas that plants take in during photosynthesis.

Front

What three things are needed for a plant to do photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Water, and Sunlight to perform photosynthesis.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the fluid-like substance found inside the chloroplast?

Back

The fluid-like substance inside the chloroplast is called Stroma.

Front

Why do plants conduct photosynthesis?

Back

Plants conduct photosynthesis to make glucose, which is used as energy.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for the light reactions of photosynthesis.

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

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

Front

What are thylakoids?

Back

Thylakoids are membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts where the light reactions of photosynthesis occur.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis, converting CO₂ into glucose.
