Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

It provides the energy needed for the process.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

It absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths.

Front

What are light-dependent reactions?

Back

Reactions that convert solar energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH) in the thylakoid membranes.
