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?

  • Glucose
  • Oxygen (correct)

    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.</p> Signup and view all the answers
