Unit 5 - Photosyn and Cell Res. 2024-2025 Practice

Front

What are the 3 reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water.

Front

Where does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun that is necessary for photosynthesis?

Back

The electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun that is necessary for photosynthesis is sunlight.

Front

What gas is produced by plants during photosynthesis that is essential for the survival of animals?

Back

The gas produced by plants during photosynthesis that is essential for the survival of animals is oxygen.

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 sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What are autotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food, primarily through photosynthesis.

Front

What are heterotrophs?

Back

Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
