Module C Unit 1 Lesson 2 Exploration 2

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis include carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Front

Where does photosynthesis take place in a plant?

Back

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of the plant.

Front

What is the source of energy that plants use to make food?

Back

The source of energy that plants use to make food is light energy.

Front

What are reactants in a chemical reaction?

Back

Reactants are the starting materials that undergo a chemical change.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is 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 is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

Why is photosynthesis important for life on Earth?

Back

Photosynthesis is important because it produces oxygen and organic compounds that are essential for life.

Front

What is the difference between photosynthesis and respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy, while respiration breaks down glucose to release energy.
