Biology Photosynthesis and Energy Test
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Why do most plants look like they have a green color? | Chlorophyll absorbs every color but green so therefore it reflects green |
What is the Photosynthesis Equation? | 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
What does this symbol mean? + | it is used between two formulas to indicate a different material |
What does this symbol mean? --> | used to separate reactants which are found on the left hand side with products that are on the right hand side |
What does this symbol mean? (s) (l) (g) | denotes the phase of the material |
What does this symbol mean? (aq) | when a material is dissolved in eater to make a solution it is called an aqueous solution |
What does this symbol mean? (acetone) ------------> | when a material is written over the reaction arrow it means the reaction takes place in that substance |
What does this symbol mean? (triangle over an arrow) | when a triangle is written over the arrow it means that the reactants must be heated in order for the reaction to proceed |
What does this symbol mean? <------ -------> | the double arrow means that the reaction is reversible and will reach equilibrium |
What does this symbol mean? N.R. | this will be found on the product side only. it means that the given reactants don't form any products |
Do plants, like animals, use O2 to convert the sugar they produce during photosynthesis into energy and release CO2 as a waste product like animals do? | Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis in order to make sugars. During photosynthesis they also use oxygen to convert the sugar into energy. Plants release carbon dioxide as a waste product just as animals do,but only during photosynthesis. |
The reason behind photosynthesis is to get what? What is the name and the formula for this molecule? | Glucose C6H12O6 |
