Certainly! Below you will find the answers to each question based on the content related to photosynthesis.
Question 1 - Match the Vocabulary
- Chlorophyll - The green pigment in plants that captures light energy.
- Photosynthesis - The process of converting light energy into chemical energy stored as glucose.
- Glucose - A type of sugar produced during photosynthesis.
- Stomata - Small openings on the leaves of plants that allow for gas exchange (not explicitly defined in the passage).
Question 2 - True or False
- Chlorophyll absorbs light energy from the sun. - True
- Oxygen is the gas used by plants as a reactant during photosynthesis. - False (Oxygen is a product, not a reactant.)
- The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to produce glucose. - True
- During photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a byproduct. - True
- The process of photosynthesis takes place in the mitochondria of cells. - False (Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, not mitochondria.)
- Oxygen is the byproduct of photosynthesis that is essential for human survival. - True
- In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are converted into oxygen. - False (They are converted into glucose, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.)
Question 3 - Label the Equation
In the context of photosynthesis, the overall equation is: \[ \text{6 CO}_2 + \text{6 H}_2\text{O} + \text{light energy} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 + \text{6 O}_2 \]
Label the equation:
- Carbon Dioxide - CO₂
- Water - H₂O
- Glucose - C₆H₁₂O₆
- Oxygen - O₂
Question 4 - Label the Diagram
You would typically need specific elements on the diagram to label. Usually, you label:
- Light energy (input)
- Carbon dioxide (input)
- Water (input)
- Glucose (output)
- Oxygen (output)
Question 5 - Fill in the Blanks of Photosynthesis Equation
Using the equation from Question 3, fill in the chemical formulas with names: \[ \text{6 CO}_2 , (\text{Carbon Dioxide}) + \text{6 H}_2\text{O} , (\text{Water}) + \text{light energy} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 , (\text{Glucose}) + \text{6 O}_2 , (\text{Oxygen}) \]
