Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

​​Photosynthesis is when the leaves take in sunlight and use it to synthesize (produce) gluscose from CO2 and water.

Multiple Select

How do plants make food

• Sunlight

• Oxygen

• Water

• Carbohydrates

Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is what give the plants its green color and helps plant absorb energy with photosynthesis.

Chloroplast

Chloroplast is an organelle that contains chlorophyll and use for photosynthesis to create glucose.

​

The reason why most plants are green is because the chlorophyll in the leaves reflects the green wavelength so it appears green.

Multiple Choice

Why are plants green

• Because they like the color green
• Because they contain chlorophyll
• Because they absorb green light

How do photosynthesis help plants

Photosynthesis helps plants by providing energy for the plants cells so the plant can function properly.

​Photosynthesis help plants with

• Growth

• Energy for the plant

• For the plant to function

• Make Carbohydrate

​Without Photosynthesis

Without Photosynthesis, the plant would not get enough energy to function, the plant would not make carbohydrate which is the plant energy

Multiple Choice

How does photosynthesis help plants with things

• It helps plants to produce oxygen
• It helps plants to produce food
• It helps plants to produce carbon dioxide
• It helps plants to produce water

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for Photosynthesis

• 6CO2 + 6H2O + heat energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
• 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP → C6H12O6 + 6O2
• 6CO2 + 6H2O + glucose → C6H12O6 + 6O2
• 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Multiple Choice
