The process that uses energy from the sun to make food from water and carbon dioxide.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the source of nearly all the energy on earth.
What is the sun?
This part takes in carbon dioxide in step two.
What are stomata?
These are the raw materials for photosynthesis.
What are water, carbon dioxide and sunlight?
Photosynthesis takes place in the organelle called
The chemical that absorbs and stores the energy of sunlight.
What is chlorophyll?
This group of organisms undergoes photosynthesis.
What are producers?
These take in water during the second step of photosynthesis.
What are roots?
This waste product is not needed by plants and is released, allowing animals to breath it in.
What is oxygen?
Photosynthesis takes place in
Plant Cells only
This is a chemical the absorbs specific colors of light.
What is a pigment?
This group of organisms is not capable of photosynthesis.
What are consumers?
This is the final step of photosynthesis that results in the materials becoming the products.
What is a chemical reaction?
This is the equation for photosynthesis.
6water + 6carbon dioxide -> 1 glucose + 6 oxygen
A reactant of photosynthesis is
Carbon Dioxide
An autotroph
What is a self-feeder?
This group of organisms could not survive without the other.
What are consumers?
In the first step of photosynthesis, this green chemical in the chloroplasts that absorbs and stores energy from the sun.
What is chlorophyll?
What is the name of the tiny holes found in plant leaves?
(HINT: These holes are where gases travel in and out of the leaves)
Stomatas
How do plants get their energy to produce glucose?
From the sunlight
Photosynthesis needs these
water (H2O) through the roots, carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, and light energy from the Sun
This group of organisms start every food chain or web.
What are producers?
Both step of this process take place in this organelle
What is the chloroplast?
Photosynthesis uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and water to produce __________________ that the plant can use for food.
What is glucose?
Where is the process of photosynthesis happening in the plant cell?
(HINT: She's the main character)
Inside the Chloroplasts
