Photosynthesis

Question 1

What is the definition of photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is the process by which leaves, in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll, use carbon dioxide in water to make glucose. oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Question 2

Describe the process of photosynthesis?

Answer 2

1. Using energy from sunlight, water (H2O), will break into hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O).
2. The Oxygen gets released
3. The Hydrogen combines with Carbon Dioxide (CO2), to form a carbohydrate.

Question 3

What is the word equation of photosynthesis?

Answer 3

Carbon Dioxide + Water –sunlight–chlorophyll–> Glucose + Oxygen

Question 4

What is the symbol equation of photosynthesis?

Answer 4

6CO2 + 6H2O –sunlight–chlorophyll–> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Question 5

What are the three main factors affecting photosynthesis?

Answer 5

Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature are the three main limiting factors affecting photosynthesis.
