Photosynthesis (Biology)

Front

What is the correct formula for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + H₂O → O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

What condition would decrease the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?

Back

Changing the daylight hours from 14 hrs to 10 hrs

Front

How does most of the water needed by the plant get into its leaves?

Back

The roots absorb it and then it travels up the stem.

Front

Why do most plants appear green?

Back

Chlorophyll reflects green light.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for making food (Glucose) using sunlight?

Back

Chloroplast

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

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂).

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis for life on Earth?

Back

Photosynthesis is crucial as it produces oxygen and organic compounds that are the foundation of the food chain.

Front

What factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability can all affect the rate of photosynthesis.
