Vocabulary
Process by which some organisms convert light energy into chemical energy of organic compounds.
What is photosynthesis?
This gas is a reactant that is used up during photosynthesis.
This is the type of gas that is produced through photosynthesis.
What is oxygen (O2)?
The basic inorganic materials used during photosynthesis are:
1.) H2O and C6H12O6
2.) O2 and CO2
3.) H2O and CO2
4.) C6H12O6 and CO2
3.) H2O and CO2
Name for organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis.
What are autotrophs (or producers)?
This reactant is where the energy for photosynthesis comes from.
What is sunlight?
Fill in the blank:
Water + CO2 + Sunlight --> Oxygen +_______
At optimum light intensity, which atmospheric gas most directly influences the rate of photosynthesis?
1.) Nitrogen
2.) Hydrogen
3.) Oxygen
4.) Carbon Dioxide
4.) Carbon Dioxide
This is the part of the cell where photosynthesis takes place.
What is the chloroplast?
This reactant is also known as H2O. It provides the hydrogen needed for photosynthesis.
What is water?
True or false: the products are the things that are used up during the process of photosynthesis.
What is false?
In the photosynthetic reaction, which event normally occurs before the other three?
1.) Oxygen release
2.) Water absorption
3.) PGAL Synthesis
4.) Glucose formation
2.) Water absorption
This word that starts with a "P" means the things that are created during the process of photosynthesis?
What are products?
These are all three reactants that are needed to perform photosynthesis.
What are CO2, water, and sunlight?
Fill in the blank:
Water + CO2 + Sunlight --> ________ + Glucose
What is Oxygen (O2)?
Photosynthesis transforms molecules of water and carbon dioxide into molecules of:
1.) Carbohydrate and oxygen
2.) Carbohydrate and nitrogen
3.) Polypeptide and oxygen
4.) Polypeptide and nitrogen
1.) Carbohydrate and oxygen
True or false: Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells.
What is true?
True or false: The reactants are the things that are used up during the process of photosynthesis.
What is true?
This is the type of sugar that is produced through photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
The equation below represents a summary of a biological process.
carbon dioxide + water + sunlight → glucose + oxygen
This process is completed in:
1.) Mitochondria
2.) Ribosomes
3.) Chloroplasts
4.) Cell Membranes
3.) Chloroplasts
