GCSE Biology · Photosynthesis

1. Read the summary

Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which plants use to turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen
Light energy is required.

Plants use glucose for respiration and to make cellulose for cell walls. They can also store it as starch.

2. Test your memory

Say the answer to yourself, then reveal it to check.
