What is the pigment in chloroplasts that performs photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What are the tiny openings that let in the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis?

Back

Stomata

Front

Why is photosynthesis important for humans and animals?

Back

The oxygen we breathe is created during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the job of chloroplasts?

Back

To absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

It provides the energy needed for the process.

Front

What is the function of stomata in plants?

Back

To allow the exchange of gases, including the intake of carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.
