Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem?

Back

Photosynthesis is essential for producing oxygen and as a primary energy source for nearly all living organisms.

Front

What are stomata?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food (e.g., plants), while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy.
