Front

What gas is released by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

oxygen

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll, primarily converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the Light Dependent Reactions and the Light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle).

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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