Photosynthesis

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?

Back

The three raw materials needed for photosynthesis are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

How does sunlight contribute to photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy required to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What role does carbon dioxide play in photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide is one of the raw materials that plants take in from the atmosphere to produce glucose.

Front

What role does water play in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is absorbed by plant roots and is used in the photosynthesis process to produce glucose and oxygen.

Front

Why is chlorophyll important for photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is important because it captures sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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