Answer 1

Here are the answers to your statements:

1. Oxygen is the byproduct of photosynthesis that is essential for human survival. - True
   Oxygen produced during photosynthesis is crucial for human and other aerobic life.

2. During photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a byproduct. - True
   Oxygen is a byproduct of the photosynthetic process where water is split.

3. Oxygen is the gas used by plants as a reactant during photosynthesis. - False
   Plants use carbon dioxide and water as reactants during photosynthesis, not oxygen.

4. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy from the sun. - True
   Chlorophyll is the pigment in plants that captures light energy necessary for photosynthesis.

5. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are converted into oxygen. - False
   Carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen, but the oxygen is a byproduct, not the main product.

6. The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to produce glucose. - True
   The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
