Photoynthesis

Question 1

what is photosunthesis?

Answer 1

plants produce food (glucose)

Question 2

where does photosynthesis happen?

Answer 2

in all the leaves of all green plants in the chloroplasts

Question 3

what absorbs sunlight for Photosynthesis?

Answer 3

chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to convert C02 and water into glucose

Question 4

why is photosynthesis important?

Answer 4

converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the glucose, this chemical energy is released when glucose is broken down during respiration.

Question 5

what is the word equation for Photosynthesis?

Answer 5

Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen
