On level Biology Photosynthesis Flashcard

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen.

Front

What opening do carbon dioxide enter the leaves through?

Back

Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata.

Front

Where are the stomata located on a leaf?

Back

Stomata are found on the underside of the leaf.

Front

In the snail and elodea experiment, which organism takes carbon dioxide out of the water?

Back

Elodea takes carbon dioxide out of the water.

Front

Why do most plants appear green?

Back

Most plants appear green because chlorophyll does not absorb green light.

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for photosynthesis to occur.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the primary function of stomata in plants?

Back

The primary function of stomata is to allow gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is a reactant in photosynthesis and is split to provide electrons and protons for the process.
