Organelles
This organelle controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert sunlight into this sugar.
What is glucose?
This organelle captures sunlight and carries out photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
Gas exchange in plants occurs through these tiny openings.
What are stomata?
If the cell membrane stopped working, the cell would lose this ability.
What is the ability to control what enters and exits?
This organelle contains DNA and controls the cell’s activities.
What is the nucleus?
These are the two main reactants of photosynthesis (not including sunlight).
What are carbon dioxide and water?
This green pigment absorbs light energy.
What is chlorophyll?
The singular form of stomata is this.
What is a stoma?
This organelle is found in plant cells but not animal cells and provides structure.
What is the cell wall?
This organelle is known as the “powerhouse of the cell.”
What is the mitochondria?
These are the two products of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen?
These flattened membrane sacs inside the chloroplast contain chlorophyll.
What are thylakoids?
These 3 organisms perform photosynthesis.
👉 What are plants, algae and cyanobacteria?
Without chlorophyll, a plant would not be able to do this process.
What is photosynthesis?
This organelle assembles amino acids to create proteins.
What are ribosomes?
This is the chemical formula for glucose.
What is C₆H₁₂O₆?
A stack of thylakoids is called this.
What is a granum?
Scientists estimate that photosynthetic organisms (plants, algae, and cyanobacteria) produce approximately this percentage of Earth’s oxygen.
What is between 50–70% of Earth’s oxygen?
In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are classified as these.
What are reactants?
This organelle uses chemicals to break down food and worn-out cell parts.
What are lysosomes?
This is the full balanced equation for photosynthesis.
What is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂?
Plants look green because they absorb these two colors of light.
What is blue and red light?
This animal is one of a few that can perform photosynthesis
What are Phytoplankton
If all of a plant’s stomata suddenly closed on a sunny day, photosynthesis would quickly decrease for this reason.
What is: Carbon dioxide could not enter the leaf, so the plant could not complete photosynthesis?
