Photosynthesis

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

light + carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen

Front

How does carbon dioxide enter the leaves of a plant?

Back

It enters through the stomata.

Front

What is the role of roots in water absorption for plants?

Back

The roots absorb water, which then travels up the stem to the leaves.

Front

Is glucose a reactant or product of photosynthesis?

Back

Product.

Front

What effect does reducing daylight hours from 14 to 10 hours have on photosynthesis?

Back

It decreases the rate of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What is the significance of stomata in plants?

Back

Stomata allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.

Front

What is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis.

Front

What factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability.
