Biology Review

Front

What gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The correct equation for photosynthesis is: CO2 + light + H2O → O2 + Sugar.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ?

Back

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the function of stomata in leaves?

Back

Stomata are leaf structures that allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf and oxygen to exit.

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are specialized structures in plant cells where food (glucose) is made through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis, capturing light energy.

Front

What is the role of light in photosynthesis?

Back

Light provides the energy needed for the photosynthesis process to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

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 is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2) is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
