What is photosynthesis in plants?
A chemical process using light to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.
Where is chlorophyll located in plant cells?
In chloroplasts, especially in palisade cells near the leaf surface.
What is the overall photosynthesis equation?
Carbon dioxide plus water produces glucose and oxygen.
How does carbon dioxide enter the plant during photosynthesis?
Through stomata in the leaves.
Photosynthesis Definition
Process creating glucose and oxygen using light.
Location of Photosynthesis
In chloroplasts within plant cells.
Main inputs
Carbon dioxide, water, light energy.
Overall Reaction Formula
CO₂ + H₂O → glucose + oxygen.
Primary pigment
Chlorophyll absorbs light for photosynthesis.
Glucose uses
Stored as starch, used in lipids, cellulose, amino acids.
Factors affecting rate
Light intensity, temperature, CO₂ concentration, water availability.
