Photosynthesis

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2) is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Front

What is a reactant in photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a key reactant in the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the process called that plants use to convert sunlight into food?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process where plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is a product of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2) is one of the main products of photosynthesis.

Front

What is glucose?

Back

Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as an important energy source for living organisms.

Front

What are the main reactants needed for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

Where does photosynthesis primarily occur in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the leaves of plants, specifically in the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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