Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

Which molecule is more like a fully charged battery, ADP or ATP?

Back

ATP, because it has three phosphate groups; breaking and reforming the bonds among them releases energy.

Front

Where do plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis?

Back

From sunlight.

Front

In which organelles does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Chloroplasts.

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 role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the significance of glucose in photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose serves as an energy source for plants and is a building block for growth.

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water provides electrons and protons for the synthesis of glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the light-dependent reaction in photosynthesis?

Back

It is the phase of photosynthesis that converts solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
