Photosynthesis

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, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of the phloem in plants?

Back

The phloem is responsible for transporting nutrients, particularly sugars produced during photosynthesis, from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system; it can only change forms.

Front

What is glucose?

Back

Glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is an important energy source for living organisms and is a product of photosynthesis.

Front

Which gas is released during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is released as a byproduct during the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is a raw material used in photosynthesis; it is split into hydrogen and oxygen, with the hydrogen being used to form glucose.

Front

What is the significance of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for photosynthesis to occur, allowing plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the difference between the reactants and products of photosynthesis?

Back

Reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water, while the products are glucose and oxygen.
