Photosynthesis 1
The process that uses energy from the sun to make food from water and carbon dioxide.
What is photosynthesis?
A food molecule made from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the leaves of plants.
What is glucose (sugar)?
Things that eat other organisms for food.

DAILY DOUBLE: How many molecules of carbon dioxide and water are needed to produce one molecule of glucose?
6 of each
When we eat food, our body gets ________ from the carbohydrates stored in the food.
What is energy?
Photosynthesis uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and ______ to produce oxygen and sugar.
What is water?
An organism that uses a primary energy source (like light) to conduct photosynthesis
What is a producer?
Cellular respiration occurs in this cell part.
What is mitochondria?
What is the chemical formula for water?
What is H2O?
The gas product, known as a waste product, that is made from photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
DAILY DOUBLE: Approximately how many liters of oxygen does an oak tree produce in one day? (within 50 liters to get the points)
274 liters
Location in the plant where water gets separated into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What are cholorplasts?
The chemical formula for a molecule of glucose.
C6H12O6
Another name for sugar is _____________.
What is glucose?
The products of photosynthesis are these substances.
What are glucose/sugar, oxygen, and water?
Explain how photosynthesis provides energy for carnivores like wolves.
Plants absorb energy from the sun and store it in glucose molecules. Animals eat those plants and get the energy from them. Carnivores later eat those animals passing the energy along.
