Question 1: Match the vocabulary term with the correct definition
- Glucose: A type of sugar that is produced during photosynthesis
- Chlorophyll: The green pigment in plants that captures light energy from the sun
- Photosynthesis: The process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy (glucose)
- Stomata: Tiny openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange (carbon dioxide in, oxygen out)
Question 2: True or False
- The process of photosynthesis takes place in the mitochondria of cells. False
- Oxygen is the byproduct of photosynthesis that is essential for human survival. True
- The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to produce glucose. True
- Chlorophyll absorbs light energy from the sun. True
- In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are converted into oxygen. False (they are converted into glucose and oxygen)
- Oxygen is the gas used by plants as a reactant during photosynthesis. False (carbon dioxide is used as a reactant)
- During photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a byproduct. True
Question 3: Label the equation
- Carbon dioxide: Reactant in photosynthesis
- Water: Reactant in photosynthesis
- Glucose: Product of photosynthesis
- Oxygen: Byproduct of photosynthesis
Question 4: Label the diagram of photosynthesis
Assuming the diagram consists of different components involved in the photosynthesis process, labels may include:
- Chlorophyll - the pigment in the chloroplasts
- Sunlight - the energy source
- Carbon dioxide - entering through the stomata
- Water - absorbed by the roots
- Glucose - the product formed in the chloroplasts
Please insert the appropriate labels into the diagram based on its structure.
