Photosynthesis

Front

What are the raw materials of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water are the raw materials of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

Why does the rate of photosynthesis decrease at high temperatures?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis decreases at high temperatures because enzymes are denatured.

Front

What gas is produced by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is the gas produced by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the chemical formula for oxygen?

Back

The chemical formula for oxygen is O₂.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants 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 sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The overall equation for photosynthesis is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Front

What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis include light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability.

Front

How does light intensity affect photosynthesis?

Back

Increased light intensity generally increases the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain point, after which it levels off.
