Front

What do plants need for the photosynthesis process?

Back

Light, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Which of the following go through the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Algae.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms 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 sun, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem?

Back

Photosynthesis is crucial as it produces oxygen and organic compounds that serve as food for various organisms.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What happens during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

Light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
