Photosynthesis

Front

What is a granum?

Back

A granum is a stack of thylakoids, which are membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll and are involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What pigment is responsible for absorbing sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The correct equation for photosynthesis is: carbon dioxide + water → oxygen + glucose.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells that contain chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis as it captures light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are thylakoids?

Back

Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll and are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
