Photosynthesis (LS5) Study Guide Name:___________________________

Directions: Give a short definition for each (not copied from notes) and use key words.

1. Photosynthesis ____ process by which a plant cell captures

energy in sunlight and uses it to make food________
2. Respiration ____ process by which animal cells obtain energy
and releasing stored energy______
3. Chloroplast ______ Inside the cell. The location of
photosynthesis takes place._____
4. Chlorophyll ___ The reason for why a plant is green and its
located in the chloroplast and captures sunlight____
5. Producers __ Organism that can make its own food___
6. Glucose __ A simple sugar that is an important energy
source___
Directions: Answer the following questions
7. Name the three places plants store energy?

a. Roots
b. Stem
c. Leaves
d. Seeds
8. Plants use the gas, __ Carbon Dioxide__ to start photosynthesis.
9. Photosynthesis takes place in the organelle, ____ Chloroplast_____.
10. __ Chlorophyll___ in the chloroplast allows photosynthesis to occur.
11. Plants get their green color from ____ Chlorophyll____.
12. Plants take light energy and convert it to __ Chemical___ energy.
13. What are the products of photosynthesis?

____ oxygen and glucose (sugar)______

14. Explain why leaves change color in the fall (why trees decide to do it, and why the leaves look a
different color to us).

When days get shorter and it gets colder, the chlorophyll in the
leaves break down. Which is when different colors reveal
themselves because chlorophyll is what gives leaves its green
color. The trees are preparing for winter. ____

15. Give two reasons plants are important to animals

___ depend on oxygen and to supply our food to obtain

energy________

16. Write the equation for photosynthesis

17. Use the word bank to fill-in-the-blanks in the photosynthesis and cellular respiration diagram below:
