What is photosynthesis? do you know

What are the primary products of photosynthesis?

The primary products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Where does photosynthesis primarily occur in plants?

Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

The general formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

What pigment is primarily involved in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the main pigment involved in photosynthesis.

What role do sunlight and chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Sunlight provides the energy and chlorophyll absorbs light energy to drive the process.

What are light-dependent reactions?

Light-dependent reactions are the first stage of photosynthesis that convert light energy into chemical energy.

What happens during the Calvin cycle?

During the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into glucose using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.

What are stomata?

Stomata are small openings on the surfaces of leaves that allow for gas exchange during photosynthesis.

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Water is essential for photosynthesis as it provides electrons and protons and is split into oxygen during the light-dependent reactions.

Which organisms besides plants can perform photosynthesis?

Certain algae and some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, can also perform photosynthesis.

How does photosynthesis benefit the ecosystem?

Photosynthesis produces oxygen and organic compounds, which are fundamental for life and support food chains.

What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?

The rate of photosynthesis can be affected by light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability.
