5 Questions
What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a biological process used by many cellular organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in organic compounds that can later be metabolized through cellular respiration to fuel the organism's activities.
What is the byproduct of oxygenic photosynthesis?
The byproduct of oxygenic photosynthesis is oxygen.
What molecules store the chemical energy produced in photosynthesis?
Carbohydrate molecules such as sugars, starch, and cellulose store the chemical energy produced in photosynthesis.
What is the term for organisms that perform photosynthesis?
Organisms that perform photosynthesis are called photoautotrophs.
What is the significance of photosynthesis in maintaining the Earth's atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the biological energy necessary for complex life on Earth.
