Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

Why is photosynthesis important?

Back

Photosynthesis is important because it produces oxygen and glucose, which are essential for life.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + glucose.

Front

How do plants obtain energy for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis from sunlight.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is necessary for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary function of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

In which part of the plant does photosynthesis primarily occur?

Back

Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the leaves of the plant.

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 significance of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

The light-dependent reactions convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
