Photosynthesis

Front

What are the three raw materials required for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water (H2O), and Sunlight.

Front

What are the two main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2).

Front

Is Oxygen (O2) a raw material or a product of photosynthesis?

Back

Product.

Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

To conduct photosynthesis by converting sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment that absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the overall chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

How does sunlight contribute to photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis for life on Earth?

Back

Photosynthesis produces oxygen, which is essential for the survival of most living organisms, and it is the foundation of the food chain.

Front

In which part of the plant does photosynthesis primarily occur?

Back

In the leaves, specifically within the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the role of water (H2O) in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is a raw material that is split to provide electrons and protons, and it also releases oxygen as a byproduct.
