Photosynthesis Basics
What is the process plants use to turn light energy into stored food energy?
Photosynthesis
What cell structure contains chlorophyll and captures light?
Chloroplasts
Does photosynthesis change light energy into chemical energy or sound energy?
Chemical energy
Name one substance plants take in to make food.
Water or carbon dioxide
Why did the turkey join the band?
Because it had drumsticks
What kind of energy from the Sun helps plants make food?
Solar
What green pigment absorbs light energy in plants?
Chlorophyll
In what form is energy stored in the sugar plants make?
In the chemical bonds of sugar
What gas do plants take in from the air for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide
What is an old snowman called?
A puddle
What sugar do plants make during photosynthesis?
Glucose
In what cell structures does photosynthesis mainly happen?
Chloroplasts
During photosynthesis, what happens to the atoms in carbon dioxide and water?
Their atoms are rearranged to form sugar and oxygen
What gas is released as a product of photosynthesis?
Oxygen
Why did the homework file a police report?
Because it got bitten by the dog
Why do plants need to capture light energy?
To power the process of making sugar
How does chlorophyll help a plant cell make food?
It absorbs light energy that helps drive photosynthesis
Explain the difference between the matter and energy involved in photosynthesis.
Matter provides the atoms used to build sugar, while energy from light is transformed and stored in the sugar
What input did Van Helmont think caused mass growth in his tree experiment?
Water
What is a ghost's favorite homework
Boo-k reports
How does photosynthesis help a plant store energy for later use?
Energy is stored in sugar molecules that the plant can use later.
Explain how chloroplasts and chlorophyll work together during photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts absorbs light, providing energy for the cell to make sugar
How many carbon dioxide and water molecules are needed to make 1 glucose molecule and 6 oxygen molecules?
6 Carbon Dioxide and 6 Water
What input actually caused most of the tree growth in Van Helmont's experiment? (Not what he thought)
Carbon dioxide
How is a magician similar to a hockey player?
They can both do hat tricks
