Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Why are plants called producers?

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem?

Back

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

Front

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Increased light intensity generally increases the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain point, after which it levels off.
