Questions and Answers

What is the primary role of green plants during photosynthesis?

  • To consume glucose and release nitrogen
  • To use oxygen and release carbon dioxide
  • To produce food using carbon dioxide and produce oxygen (correct)
  • To absorb sunlight and release heat energy

What colour does the hydrogencarbonate indicator turn in the presence of a higher than normal level of carbon dioxide?

  • Yellow (correct)
  • Green
  • Red
  • Purple

What can be concluded if the indicator in tube A turns purple after five hours?

  • The leaves are taking in carbon dioxide (correct)
  • The leaves are releasing carbon dioxide
  • The initial carbon dioxide level was high
  • The leaves are not photosynthesizing
