U2 L1: Photosynthesis

Front

What are Stomata?

Back

Stomata are small openings on plant surfaces that facilitate gas exchange.

Front

What is Chlorophyll?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment crucial for photosynthesis in plants and other photosynthetic organisms.

Front

What is a Heterotroph?

Back

A Heterotroph is an organism that obtains its food by consuming other organisms.

Front

What is an Autotroph?

Back

An Autotroph is an organism that produces its own food from inorganic substances.

Front

What is Photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy in plants.

Front

What role do Stomata play in photosynthesis?

Back

Stomata allow for the exchange of gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, which are essential for photosynthesis.

Front

Why is Chlorophyll important for plants?

Back

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

Front

Can Heterotrophs perform photosynthesis?

Back

No, Heterotrophs cannot perform photosynthesis; they must consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is the difference between Autotrophs and Heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis, while Heterotrophs obtain food by consuming other organisms.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen.
