Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and Oxygen: The main products of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy.

Front

The purpose of photosynthesis is ...

Back

To make glucose: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What gas is released into the air during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen: A byproduct of photosynthesis that is released into the atmosphere.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll: The green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and Calvin cycle: The two stages where light energy is captured and converted into chemical energy.

Front

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2: The chemical equation representing the process of photosynthesis.
