Future Food Lesson 1

Front

What is produced as a result of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and Oxygen

Front

What is the pigment in chloroplasts that performs photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What process occurs when light energy is captured in plants and converted into sugar?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What is the definition of photosynthesis?

Back

The process in which plants make their food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight.

Front

What are the reactants needed for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

How does photosynthesis benefit the environment?

Back

It produces oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
