Science Photosynthesis

Terms in this set (11)

Where do organisms get their energy?
The sun
Photosynthesis
The process which plants turn sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and creates an oxygen waste
Chemicals used in photosynthesis
Water: H2o
Carbon dioxide: Co2
Oxygen: O2
Glucose: C6H12O6
Why are chloroplasts essential for photosynthesis?
Because chloroplasts collect energy from the sun
What parts of the plant collect materials for photosynthesis?
Roots: Collect Water
Chloroplast: collects energy
Stomata: collect carbon dioxide
Reactants
water, carbon dioxide
Products
glucose, oxygen
Stage 1
Collecting materials (sunlight, energy, water. carbon dioxide) light dependent reaction
Stage 2
Processing of the materials to form glucose and oxygen
Calvin cycle
When molecules of carbon dioxide and water are taken apart, rearranged, and recombined to make glucose and oxygen
formula for photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
