Front

What type of energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis?

Back

Light energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Front

What does a green leaf indicate about light absorption?

Back

A green leaf indicates that all colors are absorbed except green.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar (glucose)

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is catabolic and photosynthesis is anabolic.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and sugar (glucose).

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is 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 is the pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, and reflects green light.

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 significance of photosynthesis to life on Earth?

Back

Photosynthesis is crucial as it produces oxygen and organic compounds that are the foundation of the food chain.
