Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What part of the plant soaks up water for photosynthesis?

Back

Roots are the part of the plant that absorb water from the soil, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the process in which plants capture the energy in sunlight and use it to make food?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6 CO2 + 6 H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in the plant?

Back

Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the leaves of the plant, specifically in the chloroplasts.

Front

What role do chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, which is crucial for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis to life on Earth?

Back

Photosynthesis is vital as it produces oxygen and organic compounds, forming the basis of the food chain.

Front

How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the air through small openings in their leaves called stomata.
