5 Questions
What is photosynthesis and what is its purpose?
Photosynthesis is a biological process used by cellular organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy. Its purpose is to store this energy in organic compounds that can later be used to fuel the organism's activities through cellular respiration.
What is the byproduct of oxygenic photosynthesis?
The byproduct of oxygenic photosynthesis is oxygen.
Which organisms are capable of performing photosynthesis?
Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are capable of performing photosynthesis.
What is the role of photosynthesis in maintaining the Earth's atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere.
What is another type of photosynthesis and how does it differ from oxygenic photosynthesis?
Another type of photosynthesis is anoxygenic photosynthesis, which uses bacteriochlorophyll and does not produce oxygen as a byproduct.
