Questions and Answers

What is the word equation for photosynthesis?

  • Oxygen + glucose $\rightarrow$ water + carbon dioxide
  • Water + sunlight $\rightarrow$ carbon dioxide + oxygen
  • Glucose + oxygen $\rightarrow$ carbon dioxide + water
  • Carbon dioxide + water $\rightarrow$ glucose + oxygen (correct)

Where does the hydrogen come from that combines with carbon dioxide in photosynthesis?

  • From the carbon dioxide
  • From the sunlight
  • From the stomata on the underside of leaves
  • From the splitting of water molecules (correct)

What is the waste product released through stomata in the underside of the leaves during photosynthesis?

What are the roles of light, carbon dioxide, water, and chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

<p>Light is used to provide energy, chlorophyll captures light, carbon dioxide is used as a carbon source, and water is split to release oxygen and provide electrons for the synthesis of glucose. (A)</p> Signup and view all the answers
