Process Of Photosynthesis

Question 1

What is the word equation for photosyntehsis

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide + Water——-Glucose + Oxygen

Question 2

Whats the letters equation for photosynthesis

Answer 2

6CO2+6H2O + energy= C6H12O6

Question 3

How is water taken into the plant?

Answer 3

Via the hair root cells

Question 4

Where does water need to go

Answer 4

Transported up the xylem vessels to the

leaf

Question 5

Why is sunlight required

Answer 5

(Sun)light is required to allow the water
molecules and carbon dioxide
molecules to react together.

Question 6

How does the plant take in carbon dioxide

Answer 6

Guard cells open, CO2 enters through the

stomata via diffusion

Question 7

What is the function of chlorophyll

Answer 7

Contains a green pigment called

chlorophyll which traps sunlight energy

Question 8

Where is chlorophyll found

Answer 8

In the leaf (mostly palisade mesophyll

layer)

Question 9

What is glucose used for

Answer 9

Used for respiration
- Used to produce fat, or oil for storage
- Used to make other carbohydrates e.g.
cellulose which strengthens the cell wall
- Used to produce amino acids for protein
synthesis.

Question 10

How does oxygen escape from the plant

Answer 10

Oxygen is (mostly) a waste product of 
photosynthesis released into the 
atmosphere via stomata.
- Some Oxygen is needed by the plant for 
respiration.
