Photosynthesis quiz Grade 5 with answers

📚 Quick Study Guide

• ☀️ Photosynthesis is how plants make their own food using sunlight.
• 💧 Plants need water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight for photosynthesis.
• 💨 The formula for photosynthesis is: $6CO_2 + 6H_2O + Sunlight \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$
• 🍃 Chlorophyll, found in chloroplasts, is what makes plants green and helps capture sunlight.
• 🌱 Plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which is essential for us to breathe.
