16 Questions
Where does photosynthesis primarily occur?
In the leaves of green plants
What are the main ingredients needed for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight
What captures the energy from sunlight in green plants?
Chloroplasts
What substance gives green plants their color?
Chlorophyll
What are the final products of photosynthesis?
Oxygen and glucose
How is glucose produced during photosynthesis?
By combining water with carbon dioxide
What are the six factors that change the rate at which photosynthesis happens?
Temperature, light intensity, light wavelength, level of carbon dioxide, amount of chlorophyll, and amount of water
Which combination of factors results in a faster rate of photosynthesis?
Temperature, light intensity, carbon dioxide, and water
What effect does too little water have on the rate of photosynthesis?
It slows down the rate of photosynthesis
Why is photosynthesis important to life on Earth?
Because nearly all living things depend on plants
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Match the following factors with their impact on the rate of photosynthesis:
Light wavelength = Affects the rate and efficiency of photosynthesis Amount of water = Influences the overall rate of photosynthesis Red or blue light = Results in a faster rate of photosynthesis Oxygen level = Indicates whether the plant needs to release excess oxygen
Match the following substances with their role in photosynthesis:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) = Used as a raw material for glucose production Water (H2O) = Supplies hydrogen ions and electrons for glucose formation Glucose (C6H12O6) = The primary product of photosynthesis Oxygen (O2) = Released as a byproduct during photosynthesis
Match the following statements with their significance to photosynthesis:
Nearly all living things depend on plants = Highlights the importance of photosynthesis in ecosystems Photosynthesis equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 = Represents the chemical process of photosynthesis Six factors that change the rate of photosynthesis = Illustrates the complexity and sensitivity of the process Chlorophyll's role in capturing light for photosynthesis = Explains how plants convert light energy into chemical energy
The plant releases oxygen back out through the ______ because it does not need it.
stomata
The rate of photosynthesis is faster when four of these factors are at the right level: temperature, light intensity, carbon dioxide, and ______.
chlorophyll
