Photosynthesis

Front

What are the raw materials of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water are the raw materials of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the chemical formula for oxygen?

Back

The chemical formula for oxygen is O₂.

Front

What colors of light does chlorophyll absorb most effectively?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs a higher percentage of red and blue light.

Front

What happens to sugar production if carbon dioxide is removed from a plant's environment?

Back

If carbon dioxide is removed, sugars will not be produced.

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 is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

As light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases until it reaches a saturation point.
