💡 Key Idea

Photosynthesis: Turning Light Into Food

Sunlight becomes your food. Literally.

Photosynthesis is the process where green plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

↳ Photosynthesis stores solar energy as chemical energy in glucose — the base of almost every food chain.

📖 Definition

Key Terms You Must Know

Four words unlock the whole chapter.

↳ Chlorophyll traps light; chloroplasts host the reaction; stomata let gases in and out.

⚙️ Process

How Photosynthesis Happens: Step by Step

From sunlight to sugar in four moves.

The overall reaction needs light, chlorophyll, CO₂, and water — remove any one and photosynthesis stops.

↳ Light splits water, CO₂ is fixed into glucose, and oxygen is released.

  • Raw materials: carbon dioxide, water and sunlight.
  • Products: glucose (carbohydrate) and oxygen.

Which of the following best defines photosynthesis?

Beginner
A The process by which plants release energy from glucose to stay alive. B The process by which plants absorb minerals from the soil through their roots. C The process by which plants lose water vapour through their leaves. D The process by which green plants make their own food using carbon dioxide, water and sunlight.
Show answer & explanation

The process by which green plants make their own food using carbon dioxide, water and sunlight.

Photosynthesis is how green plants make their own food using carbon dioxide, water and sunlight, releasing oxygen. Absorbing minerals is not photosynthesis, releasing energy from glucose is respiration, and losing water vapour is transpiration.

Which pigment absorbs light energy during photosynthesis?

Beginner
A Starch B Chlorophyll C Glucose D Iodine
Show answer & explanation

Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy. Starch and glucose are products, and iodine is used in the starch test.

Through which structures does carbon dioxide enter a leaf?

Beginner
A Roots B Stomata C Xylem D Petiole
Show answer & explanation

Stomata

Carbon dioxide diffuses into the leaf through the stomata, which are tiny pores mostly on the lower surface. Roots absorb water, the petiole holds the leaf to the stem, and xylem transports water.

A student says, 'Plants get their food from the soil through their roots.' What is wrong with this statement?

Beginner
A Roots absorb food only at night, not during the day. B Roots absorb oxygen instead of food from the soil. C Roots absorb water and minerals, not food; the plant makes its own food in the leaves. D Roots absorb food only when the soil is wet.
Show answer & explanation

Roots absorb water and minerals, not food; the plant makes its own food in the leaves.

Roots absorb water and dissolved minerals, not food. The plant makes its own food through photosynthesis in the leaves. This is one of the most commonly tested misconceptions.
