What is the main idea behind photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.
What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?
Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
Where does photosynthesis primarily occur in plants?
In the chloroplasts.
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, providing the energy needed for photosynthesis.
What is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis?
Oxygen.
What factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability.
