Photosynthesis Flashcards
-Name the process that plants use to make food -State how plant food is stored -State the meaning of the word photosynthesis -Write a word equation for Photosynthesis -Name the raw materials and products of Photosynthesis
In a few words, describe what photosynthesis is.
Photosynthesis is a process plants use to make food.
where does photosynthesis happen?
Photosynthesis happens in the leaves of a plant.
What is the food plants make.
The food plants make is a sugar called glucose.
How do plants store their food?
Plants store their food by joining glucose molecules to make starch.
What do plants need to make photosynthesis happen?
Plants need carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to make this happen.
What are raw materials?
Raw materials are the primary sources used in a chemical reaction.
What are Products?
Products are the end result of a chemical reaction.
What is the Photosynthesis equation?
Water + carbon dioxide sunlight ➡ glucose + oxygen
What do leaves kept int he light have that leaves which are not kept in the light, do not?
Starch
What are the products and raw materials for photosynthesis?
Raw materials= Water and carbon dioxide
Products= Glucose and Oxygen
