Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the mixture of light and the process of making
photosynthesis=making food through light

what is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into stored chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Multiple Select

What is photosynthesis made of?

• photo

• glucose

• process of making

• plants

Multiple Choice

What is the process of photosynthesis?

• The process of converting light energy into chemical energy
• The process of converting chemical energy into light energy
• The process of converting sound energy into chemical energy
• The process of converting chemical energy into sound energy

where does photosynthesis occur?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.

Multiple Choice

Where does photosynthesis occur?

• In the nucleus of the cell
• In the mitochondria
• In the chloroplasts
• In the ribosomes

Why are plants green?

The chloroplast absorbs light. The chloroplast also only absorbs other colors but reflects green.

the formula for photosynthesis

6CO2+6H2O =C6H12O6+6O2

Meanings for letters

CO means carbon dioxide, H2O means water, = means it being converted by light energy, C6H12O6 means glucose (sugar), O2 is gas

other numbers

The numbers in front of the symbols (6CO) states how many there are so in 6CO there are 6 carbon dioxide.

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

• 8CO2 + 8H2O + Light Energy = C8H16O8 + 8O26CO2 +

• 2CO2 + 2H2O + Light Energy = C2H4O2 + 2O2
• 4CO2 + 4H2O + Light Energy = C4H8O4 + 4O2
• 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2

Plants

Photosynthesis only occurs in plants.
