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 glucose (a sugar) and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

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 the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What type of organisms perform photosynthesis?

Back

Organisms that perform photosynthesis include plants, algae, and some bacteria.

Front

What is a heterotroph?

Back

A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food and instead obtains nutrients by consuming other organisms.

Front

What is a decomposer?

Back

A decomposer is an organism that breaks down dead or decaying organic material, returning nutrients to the ecosystem.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem?

Back

Photosynthesis is crucial for life on Earth as it produces oxygen and organic compounds that serve as food for other organisms.

Front

What is the function of the cell wall in fungi?

Back

The cell wall in fungi provides structure and protection, and it is primarily made of chitin.
