This is the source of energy for photosynthesis
What is sunlight
The main pigment in plants
What is chlorophyll
This provides the energy for most of life on Earth
What is the Sun
Why do plants need sunlight?
For energy
Plants build this during photosynthesis
What is sugar
These are the products of photosynthesis
What is Glucose and Oxygen.
This is where photosynthesis happens
What is the chloroplast
This molecule is the main source of cellular energy.
What is ATP
What are the 3 basic needs for plants?
What is sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide
What are two factors that affect photosynthesis
Amount of light, light intensity, color of light, amount of CO2, amount of water, temperature
These are the reactants in photosynthesis
What is Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Energy.
The color of chlorophyll
What is green
After losing energy, ATP is changed into this.
What is ADP
What is carbon dioxide used for in photosynthesis?
To build the sugar
Where does the Calvin cycle get its energy from?
ATP and NADPH
This is the waste product of photosynthesis
What is oxygen
Why are chlorophyll green?
They reflect green light
This is removed to release energy from ATP
What is the 3rd phosphate
This is the formula for glucose
What is C6H12O6
These are the two steps of photosynthesis
What are the light reactions and Calvin cycle (light dependent and light independent)
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
Cabon Dioxide+Water+Energy-->Glucose+Oxygen.
What is the function of the chlorophyll?
They absorb sunlight
This molecule carries high energy electrons during photosynthesis.
What is NADPH
Water provides this for photosynthesis to occur
What are electrons
Why do plants build sugar during photosynthesis
