Front

How does photosynthesis benefit heterotrophs?

Back

It creates a source of energy they can eat.

Front

What gas is produced by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen

Front

During which stage of photosynthesis do plants use carbon dioxide to produce glucose?

Back

The light-independent stage (The Calvin Cycle)

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + H₂O + light → O₂ + Sugar

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle)

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

It provides the energy needed for the light-dependent reactions.

Front

What do plants convert carbon dioxide and water into during photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

It is the stage where carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose.
