Ch.8 Photosynthesis Review

Front

In what part of a plant does the process of photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of a plant.

Front

What are plants called because they can create their own cellular energy?

Back

Plants are called producers.

Front

What gas do plants need to make their own food through photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need carbon dioxide to make their own food.

Front

How do plants and animals rely on each other?

Back

Plants create oxygen for animals, provide energy to animals, and animals provide CO2 to plants.

Front

What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis is affected by temperature, CO2 levels, and light intensity.

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 is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

During the light-dependent reactions, oxygen, ATP, and NADPH are produced.

Front

What is the primary purpose of the Calvin cycle?

Back

The primary purpose of the Calvin cycle is to convert carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH.
