Photosynthesis - 5th Grade | Grade 4

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to make their own food from carbon dioxide and water, producing oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What do plants need for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do plants produce during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

Why are producers important to humans?

Back

Producers are important because they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, which humans and animals need to breathe.

Front

What type of energy do plants use in photosynthesis?

Back

Plants use solar energy from the sun during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, allowing photosynthesis to occur.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose, which plants use for energy.

Front

How does photosynthesis benefit animals?

Back

Photosynthesis benefits animals by producing oxygen, which they need to breathe.

Front

What happens to carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?

Back

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and convert it into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and the food chain?

Back

Photosynthesis is the foundation of the food chain, as it produces the food that plants provide to herbivores, which in turn feed carnivores.
