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

What are the main reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The main reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose (C6H12O6), along with oxygen (O2) as a byproduct.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

Front

What pigment is primarily involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis, which absorbs light energy.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy, while cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide and water, which are used in photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for the photosynthesis process to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the function of vacuoles in plant cells?

Back

Vacuoles store water, nutrients, and waste products in plant cells, helping to maintain turgor pressure.
