How did scientists discover that light is needed for photosynthesis?
Plants placed in the dark only produced carbon dioxide. Only the plants in light produced oxygen.
What is one reason that producers store some of the sugars they make?
To have during the times when there is not enough sunlight to perform photosynthesis.
Name the three Reactants in Photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxide, Water and Energy
The combined mass of the bodies of organisms, which collectively represents stored energy
Biomass
What are the two things that all living things need to survive, grow and reproduce
Matter and energy
Name the scientist who performed the experiment for photosynthesis.
Jan Ingenhousz
