Plants & an Introduction to Photosynthesis
Use the first drag and drop to organize the items all plants need to survive, with the purpose of each item, and well as the mechanism plants use to obtain each item. 

it is absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves
it is taken in from the air through small openings in the leaves
it provides the energy needed to make sugar
it is the source of carbon; it's needed to create sugars like glucose (C6H12O6)
it is the source of oxygen and hydrogens for photosynthesis
it is absorbed by pigments in the chloroplast

Water
Carbon Dioxide
Sunlight

Which is the proper equation for photosynthesis? NOTE sunlight is not included but please know that it is ESSENTIAL for PHOTOsynthesis to occur (photo = light)

O2 + C6H12O6 --> H2O + CO2 

O2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + CO2

H2O + C6H12O6  --> O2 + CO2

H2O + CO2 --> O2 + C6H12O6

Why is photosynthesis an important process to plants? What does this process do for all plants?

it produces oxygen that is neccessary for humans to survive

it generates heat so plants can maintain homeostasis

it produces glucose which fuels all of the reactions in the plant

it allows organisms to break sugar molecules down into ATP

What do plants do with the most important product that is made in photosynthesis?

deposit it into the soil to improve soil quality

use it as an energy source to grow and develop, maintain homeostasis, reproduce, etc.

create light

exhale it out

Plamts are considered producers. Humans are considered consumers. Why do humans rely on plants in order to continue to survive?

all of our food can be traced back to a plant source; plants also provide us with carbon dioxide to breathe

plants produce water; plants also provide us with oxygen to breathe

plants produce water; plants also provide us with carbon dioxide to breathe

Here is the cell organelle that has the ability to perform photosynthesis. What is this cell part called?

chloroplast

nucleus

mitochondria

golgi

The cell part that runs photosynthesis is shown as being green because it contains many different light absorbing pigments. The most common pigment, that gives it a green color, is...

xanthophyll

flavonoids

chlorophyll

carotenoids

When a plant looks green to you, that is because the green light is being

absorbed by the plant and used to power photosynthesis

reflected by the plant and is not used to power photosynthesis
