Photosynthesis

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.

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.

Front

What is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis?

Back

The primary source of energy for photosynthesis is sunlight.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What role does carbon dioxide play in photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide is one of the raw materials used in photosynthesis, absorbed by plants from the atmosphere.

Front

What is the significance of oxygen produced during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen produced during photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere and is essential for the respiration of most living organisms.

Front

What happens to photosynthesis if a plant does not receive sunlight?

Back

If a plant does not receive sunlight, photosynthesis cannot occur, and the plant will not produce glucose or oxygen.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is a raw material in photosynthesis, providing hydrogen and helping to transport nutrients within the plant.

Front

How do plants absorb carbon dioxide?

Back

Plants absorb carbon dioxide through small openings in their leaves called stomata.
