Front

Which organisms perform photosynthesis?

Back

Only Autotrophs

Front

What colors of light does chlorophyll absorb the most?

Back

Red and Blue

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar

Back

Carbon dioxide and water

Front

Define 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 is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the red and blue wavelengths, to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O₂) is released as a byproduct.

Front

What is the primary product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (sugar) is the primary product.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem?

Back

Photosynthesis is crucial as it provides oxygen for respiration and is the foundation of the food chain.
