What gas goes into the plant before photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of NADPH and ATP?

Back

NADPH and ATP are short-term energy carriers that power the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

Front

Why do leaves look green?

Back

Front

What is 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.

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

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

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
