Photosynthesis

Front

What gas does the process of photosynthesis release into the atmosphere?

Back

Oxygen is released during photosynthesis as a byproduct when plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose using sunlight.

Front

Where do plants get the energy for photosynthesis to take place?

Back

Plants obtain energy for photosynthesis from the sun, which is captured by chlorophyll in their leaves.

Front

What is a lion in terms of energy acquisition?

Back

A lion is a heterotroph, meaning it cannot produce its own food and must consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What gives plants their green color?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants their green color and is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the process whereby plants capture energy and make complex molecules?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants capture sunlight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

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

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which provides the energy needed for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?

Back

The raw materials for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the primary product of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary product of photosynthesis is glucose, which plants use for energy and growth.

Front

How does photosynthesis impact the atmosphere?

Back

Photosynthesis reduces carbon dioxide levels and increases oxygen levels in the atmosphere, contributing to a balanced ecosystem.
