Photosynthesis Project by Nicholas Church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l By : Nick Church en-us 2018-09-14 14:23:53 UTC 2025-09-28 03:56:50 UTC hello@padlet.com 1. Explain the value of photosynthesis (importance for survival on Earth). nick_church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/281328846 Photosynthesis is important because  plants provide 90 percent of the world's oxygen. Also, if plants could not make their own food, every food chain would be corrupted, since plants are the lowest level on food chains.]]> 2018-09-14 14:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/281328846 2. What energy transformation occurs during photosynthesis? nick_church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282070859 The transformation occurring during photosynthesis is radiant energy to chemical energy. This is because the plant takes in the Sun's rays and converts it into the process of photosynthesis, which is a chemical change.]]> 2018-09-17 01:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282070859 3. Explain the process of photosynthesis. nick_church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282071375 The process of photosynthesis is when a plant takes in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. ]]> 2018-09-17 01:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282071375 4. What items do plants need to undergo photosynthesis? nick_church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282072969 A plant needs carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to undergo photosynthesis. These are called reactants.]]> 2018-09-17 01:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282072969 5. What is produced by photosynthesis? nick_church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282073425 The products produced from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight are sugars and oxygen.
These are called products.]]> 2018-09-17 01:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282073425 6. What is the formula for photosynthesis? nick_church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282074171 The chemical formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2.]]> 2018-09-17 01:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282074171 7. What are chloroplasts and what role do they play in photosynthesis? nick_church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282074675 Chloroplasts are green plant cells. Chloroplasts are where photosynthesis takes place, and also where sunlight is absorbed and mix it with water and carbon dioxide to make the plant's own food.]]> 2018-09-17 01:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282074675 8. Where do plants get their energy? nick_church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282075302 Plants get their energy from chloroplasts that have made the plant its own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.]]> 2018-09-17 01:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282075302 9. Where do you find plants on the food chain? nick_church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282075501 Plants, being producers, are naturally at the bottom of every food chain. Since they cannot protect themselves, plants are eaten by small organisms, who are eaten by bigger organisms, and so on. ]]> 2018-09-17 01:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282075501 10. Why would planting trees promote O2? nick_church https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282075751 Planting trees increases oxygen level because all plants give off oxygen. Therefore, having more plants means having more oxygen.]]> 2018-09-17 01:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nick_church/45z4qam6hk5l/wish/282075751
