Photosynthesis

Front

What do plants need for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

Front

What process occurs when light energy is captured in autotrophs and converted into sugar?

Back

The process is called Photosynthesis.

Front

Why do leaves look green?

Back

Leaves look green because they contain a molecule named chlorophyll.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The correct equation is CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar.

Front

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.

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 absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem?

Back

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

Front

What are autotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy.
