no because they do not contain chloroplast

Animals cells do not contain chloroplast. Do you think animals cells are able to produce glucose through photosynthesis?

plants produces glucose due to photosynthesis, then glucose gives the plant energy or stores it in the leaves. Light then is used from the sun.

Describe, using scientific terms, how plants turn sunlight into energy? Make sure to refer to the chemical equation to photosynthesis and discus the reactants and products.

carbohydrates

During photosynthesis, plants make ____

first stage

During which stage of photosynthesis does water split into hydrogen and oxygen?

carbohydrates

Each-rich molecules that organisms use to carry out daily activities are ______

air factories cars

Name 3 some sources of CO2.

producers

Organisms that can make their own food are ___

chloroplast

Photosynthesis occurs in the _____

solar energy

Plants, algae, and some bacteria capture ______

dark reactions

The ___ begin when the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide

light reactions , chlorophyll

The _____ begin when sunlight is trapped by ____

oxygen

The _____ is released from the cell

carbon dioxide and water

The chemical reactions driven by solar energy require _____

The meanings are related to chlorophyll because chlorophyll gives the leaves the color green.

The prefix chloro- means "green," and the suffix -phyll means "leaf." How are these meanings related to chlorophyll?

it tells me that during photosynthesis because of plants needing light they are put together and work together for sugar

The prefix photo- means "light," and synthesis means "to put together." How do those meanings tell you what happens during photosynthesis?

photosynthesis

The process by which a plant uses sunlight to make sugar molecules is called ______

photosynthesis

The process by which most producers make food ____

water

This energy is used to split ___ into hydrogen and oxygen

an organelle found in the leaves of green plants

What are chloroplasts and where are they found?

produce food and storing food.

What are the two main functions of chloroplasts?

energy for photosynthesis and gives color to plants

What is chlorophyll?

a process in which sunlight energy is used to make glucose

What is photosynthesis?

glucose and oxygen

What is produced in photosynthesis?

used by the plants for energy and growth

What is the glucose used for?

to release into the air for us to breath

What is the oxygen used for?

chlorophyll

What is the primary pigment found in the chloroplast?

allows plants to absorb light

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

sunlight CO2 water

What three things do plants need for photosynthesis to occur?

sunlight energy

What type of energy does the plant use to convert CO2 and H2O into sugar?

air through their leaves

Where does a plant get carbon dioxide it needs for photosynthesis?

chloroplast

Where does photosynthesis occur?

in the leaves

Where does the production of carbohydrates in a plant take place?

the ground

Where does the water come from?

roots

Where does the water enter the plant?

because of chlorophyll

Why doe most leaves appear green?

6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 reactants: CO2, H2O products: C6H12O6, O2

Write the chemical equation for the overall process of photosynthesis. Then explain what the equation means and identify the reactants, products, and the meaning of the several arrows.

glucose

_____ is produced, which supplies the cell with energy
