What happens to sugar production if carbon dioxide is completely removed from a plant’s environment?

Back

Sugars will not be produced.

Front

What happens to the rate of photosynthesis if a plant is enclosed in an air-proof bottle?

Back

Gradually slow down to zero because CO2 is used up.

Front

What colors of light does chlorophyll absorb the most?

Back

Red and blue

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem?

Back

Photosynthesis is crucial for producing oxygen and organic compounds that serve as food for living organisms.

Front

What is the light-dependent reaction in photosynthesis?

Back

The stage of photosynthesis that converts solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
