What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Front

What do plants need for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water for photosynthesis.

Front

Where does carbon dioxide enter the plant?

Back

Carbon dioxide enters the plant through small openings in the leaves called stomata.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What do plants produce during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

Why are plants important for life on Earth?

Back

Plants are important because they use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, which is essential for most living organisms.

Front

What is the ultimate source of energy for living things?

Back

The ultimate source of energy for living things is the Sun.

Front

What is glucose?

Back

Glucose is a type of sugar that plants produce during photosynthesis and use as energy.

Front

What are stomata?

Back

Stomata are tiny openings on the surface of leaves that allow gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen to enter and exit the plant.

Front

What happens to carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?

Back

During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is absorbed by the plant and used to produce glucose.
