Front

How would you best describe photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants make their own food using sunlight.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is glucose and why is it important for plants?

Back

Glucose is a type of sugar that plants produce during photosynthesis; it serves as food and energy for growth.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is chlorophyll and its role in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, enabling photosynthesis.

Front

What happens to the oxygen produced during photosynthesis?

Back
