Pre-CFA: Photosynthesis

Front

What are the raw materials (reactants) of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

Where does the process of photosynthesis take place in a plant?

Back

In the leaves of the plant.

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO2 + light + H2O --> O2 + Sugar.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis for life on Earth?

Back

Photosynthesis produces oxygen and organic compounds, which are essential for the survival of most life forms.

Front

What is the light-dependent reaction in photosynthesis?

Back

It is the first stage of photosynthesis where sunlight is converted into chemical energy.

Front

What is the light-independent reaction (Calvin Cycle) in photosynthesis?

Back

It is the second stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using the energy from ATP and NADPH.
