5.5 photosynthesis Flashcards
identify the source of energy for all ecosystems on Earth.
Sun
Chlorophyll
green light capturing pigment
Where is chlorophyll found
Chloroplast
The chemical produced in photosynthesis that contains chemical energy for the plant is called
Glucose
Glucose
Glucose is the product of photosynthesis that contains energy for the plant.
What is the gaseous product of photosynthesis that is released into the atmosphere through the stomata of leaves?
Oxygen
Photosynthesis equation
Carbon dioxide + Water
➡chlorophyll/sunlight⬅
=glucose+ oxygen+ water
The light energy captured by chlorophyll provides the energy to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen TRUE OR FALSE
True The light energy captured by chlorophyll provides the energy to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen
Is being green essential for photosynthesis
No, because plants and algae may contain other light-capturing pigments that are not green.
Where does carbon dioxide enter the plant
Stomata
where does water enter the plant
roots
Where does light enter the plant
Cuticle
Why is photosynthesis an endothermic reaction
The photosynthesis process needs energy(the sun) to produce glucose.
What is the reaction when plants photosynthesis
Endothermic reaction
Endothermic reaction
An endothermic reaction is any chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its environment.
