Vocabulary
The process of making food in a plant.
What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and ______ to produce oxygen and sugar
what is Water (H2O)?
what is the process of photosynthesis
the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
what is photosynthesis?
A chemical that absorbs energy from light; this energy is then used to convert carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.
What is Chlorophyll?
Photosynthesis takes place in the ___________
what are Chloroplasts?
what is the process of chlorophyll?
To capture and transfer energy from sunlight.
the location where photosynthesis takes place in plant cells.
what is Chloroplasts?
sugars (glucose) are broken down in the cells.
What is Cellular respiration?
The main reactants of photosynthesis are ______ and _________
what is Starch and Cellulose?
what is the process of cellular respiration?
The main source of energy for photosynthesis.
what is light energy from the sun?
The microscopic openings or pores in the epidermis of leaves and young stems.
What is Stomata?
Chlorophyll in photosynthesis is used to capture _____ and transfer ______ from sunlight
What is capture light and transfer energy from sunlight?
what is the process of light dependent reactions
Chlorophyll captures light energy, causing electrons in the pigment molecules to become excited and move to higher energy levels. These electrons then travel through a series of molecules, producing NADPH (an enzyme) and high-energy ATP molecules.
plants usually store a sugar such as ______
An energy carrying molecule that is found in all living cells.
What is ATP (adenosine triphosphate)?
the primary waste product of photosynthesis is _____
what is water?
what is the process of light independent reactions
During this stage, glucose is produced using carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Photosynthesis needs these three things to work
What are sunlight, CO2, and H2O?
