During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil.
True
Chlorophyll reflects green-light waves, making the plant appear green.
True
Most life on Earth depends on cellular respiration.
False
Photosynthesis is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria.
True

False
Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and water (H2O) from the soil during photosynthesis.
- Chlorophyll reflects green-light waves, giving plants their green appearance.
Organisms Involved
- Photosynthesis is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria.
Energy Dependence
- Most life on Earth depends on cellular respiration.
Energy Transfer
- Herbivores obtain energy by eating plants, not carnivores.
Test your knowledge about the process of photosynthesis and its importance in sustaining life on Earth. Learn how plants, algae, and bacteria capture energy from sunlight to produce oxygen and glucose, and how this energy is transferred through the food chain.
