Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

Which part of the plant is responsible for gas exchange during photosynthesis?

Back

Stomata.

Front

Which equation correctly represents the photosynthesis process?

Back

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

Where in the plant does photosynthesis primarily occur?

Back

In the leaves, specifically in the chloroplasts.
