Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

How does carbon dioxide enter the plant for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide enters the plant through small openings called stomata.

Front

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?

Front

How do plants use the glucose produced in photosynthesis?

Back

Plants use glucose for energy, growth, and as a building block for other organic compounds.

Front

What is respiration in plants?

Back

Respiration is the process by which plants convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
