Photosynthesis

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

Specialized structures of plants where food is made.

Front

What happens to the rate of photosynthesis if CO2 concentration decreases?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis would decrease resulting in a decrease of O2 production.

Front

How does temperature affect photosynthesis?

Back

Maximum glucose and oxygen production lies within an ideal temperature range.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

Which organisms perform photosynthesis?

Back

Only Autotrophs.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

A green pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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