Photosynthesis

Front

What are the raw materials of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What happens to the rate of photosynthesis if a plant is enclosed in an air-proof bottle?

Back

It gradually slows down to zero because CO2 is used up.

Front

Why does the rate of photosynthesis decrease at high temperatures?

Back

Enzymes are denatured.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is the chemical formula for oxygen?

Back

O2.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem?

Back

Photosynthesis produces oxygen and organic compounds that are essential for life.

Front

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Increased light intensity generally increases the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain point.
