Photosynthesis

Front

What is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What type of organisms are capable of performing photosynthesis?

Back

Only autotrophs can perform photosynthesis.

Front

What happens to glucose production when a plant is placed in a dark environment?

Back

The amount of glucose produced would decrease.

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are specialized structures in plants where food (glucose) is made.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and glucose production in photosynthesis?

Back

Maximum glucose and oxygen production occurs within an ideal temperature range.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

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 are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

How does light intensity affect photosynthesis?

Back

Increased light intensity generally increases the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain point, after which it levels off.
