During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
True
False
Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs green light and reflects red and blue light.
True
False
The photosynthesis equation is 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
True
False
In photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
True
False
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + glucose -> water + oxygen
Glucose + oxygen -> water + carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen
Water + glucose -> oxygen + carbon dioxide
What is the main purpose of photosynthesis in plants?
Releasing oxygen for respiration
Expelling excess water from the cell
Aiding in protein synthesis
Producing food (glucose) to store chemical energy
What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Absorb light energy
Provide water to plant
Release oxygen
Store glucose
What gas is taken in during photosynthesis to produce glucose?
Carbon dioxide
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Hydrogen
What is the waste product produced during photosynthesis?
Glucose
Oxygen
Water
Carbon dioxide
Where does photosynthesis mainly occur in plant cells?
Chloroplasts
Nucleus
Cell membrane
Mitochondria
Select the TWO products of photosynthesis.
C6H12O6
6 O2
6 CO2
6 H2O
The photograph below shows a microscopic view of the lower surface of a leaf.
What is the main function of the cells indicated by the black pointer?
regulate the rate of gas exchange
store food for winter dormancy
undergo mitotic cell division
give support to the veins in the leaf
The diagram below shows specialized plant cells that control openings called stomates.

The proper function of these cells is vital to the survival of the plant because they regulate the
products of photosynthesis in the stem.
exchange of gases in leaves.
rate of glucose use by root cells.
absorption of sunlight by leaf cells.
