Photosynthesis & Respiration

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.

What is respiration?

Back

Respiration is the process by which living organisms convert glucose and oxygen into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do producers need for photosynthesis?

Back

Producers need carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do producers release during photosynthesis?

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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