Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What do plants produce during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants produce glucose (food) and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

Why is photosynthesis important for animals?

Back

Photosynthesis is important for animals because it produces oxygen, which animals need to breathe.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What type of energy is converted during photosynthesis?

Back

Light energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Front

Which organisms are known as producers?

Back

Producers are organisms that can make their own food through photosynthesis, such as plants and algae.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for the photosynthesis process to occur.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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