The process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy (glucose).

2
New cards

Chloroplast

The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

3
New cards

Chlorophyll

The pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight.

4
New cards

Reactants of Photosynthesis

Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Water (H₂O), Sunlight

5
New cards

Products of Photosynthesis

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), Oxygen (O₂)

6
New cards

Balanced Chemical Equation for Photosynthesis

6CO₂ + 6H₂O —(light)→ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

7
New cards

Importance of Photosynthesis

Produces food (glucose) for the plant, produces oxygen for other organisms, and starts the energy flow in ecosystems.

8
New cards

Photosynthesis Function

Stores energy (in glucose), uses CO₂ and H₂O.

9
New cards

Cellular Respiration Function

Releases energy (ATP), uses glucose and O₂.
