Photosynthesis #1

Front

What is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide?

Back

CO₂

Front

What are the raw materials of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O)

Front

In which organelle does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Chloroplasts

Front

What is the chemical formula for oxygen?

Back

O₂

Front

Which is the correct formula for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + H₂O → (in sunlight) C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for the photosynthesis process to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is the main product of photosynthesis.

Front

What gas is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O₂) is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Front

Why are chloroplasts important for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which captures sunlight and is essential for the photosynthesis process.
