Questions and Answers

What are the essential requirements for photosynthesis to occur?

  • Sunlight, chlorophyll, alcohol, water, and CO2
  • Light, chloroplasts, water, high temperature, and CO2
  • Light, chlorophyll, water, suitable temperature, and CO2 (correct)
  • Light, chlorophyll, glucose, suitable temperature, and O2
  • What is the product of the photosynthesis process?

  • $C6H12O6 + O2$ (correct)
  • $CO2 + H2O$
  • $H2O + Chlorophyll$
  • $C6H12O6 + CO2$
  • What is the significance of the blue color when a leaf is treated with iodine?

  • It indicates the absence of water
  • It indicates the absence of chlorophyll
  • It indicates the presence of starch, a product of photosynthesis (correct)
  • It indicates the presence of glucose
  • What is the role of chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis?

    Why do the edges of a leaf appear yellow and the rest of the leaf appear blue when treated with iodine?

    <p>The areas devoid of chlorophyll do not contain starch and therefore do not appear blue when treated with iodine</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    Photosynthesis Requirements

    • Light, water, carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll are essential for photosynthesis to occur

    Photosynthesis Product

    • Glucose (sugar) is the primary product of the photosynthesis process

    Iodine Test

    • The blue color that appears when a leaf is treated with iodine indicates the presence of starch
    • Starch is a complex carbohydrate produced during photosynthesis

    Role of Chlorophyll

    • Chlorophyll, a green pigment, plays a crucial role in absorbing light energy for photosynthesis
    • Chlorophyll is responsible for trapping light energy and transferring it to other molecules

    Iodine Test Results

    • The yellow color at the edges of a leaf when treated with iodine indicates the absence of starch
    • The blue color in the rest of the leaf indicates the presence of starch, which is produced during photosynthesis
