Photosynthesis

Question 1

Photosynthesis

Answer 1

The process that plants use to produce food from light

Question 2

Heterotoph

Answer 2

A living thing that can’t make it’s own food

Question 3

Autotoph

Answer 3

A living thing that can make it’s own food

Question 4

How photosynthesis happens

Answer 4

CO2 enters the leaf through microscopic pores (stomata)
Water enters the plant through the roots, travelling up the leaves via the stem.
The chloroplast in plant cells contain a green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs energy from sunlight.
In the chloroplast, water, CO2 and energy react to produce glucose + oxygen

Question 5

Photosynthesis formula

Answer 5

light
Water + Carbon dioxide ————–>glucose + oxygen
chlorophyll

Question 6

Chlorophyll

Answer 6

Green pigment found in plant chloroplast that allows plant to absorb energy from sunlight

Question 7

Answer 8

A process that is essential for life

Question 9

Chemical process

Answer 9

A process that forms/ breaks chemical bonds

Question 10
