What does photosynthesis in plants do?

• Makes leaves look pretty

• Provides food for the plant

• Keeps predators away from the plant

• Absorbs water from the ground

What process occurs when light energy is captured and converted into sugar?

• Photosynthesis

• Cellular respiration

Green plants can photosynthesise without light

• True

• False

What colours are leaves that have an abundance of chlorophyll in them?

• Red

• Purple

• Pink

• Green

True or false: Mushrooms photosynthesise

• True

• False

What are the organelles that are present in plant cells but not in animal cells?

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Chloroplast

• Cell wall

• Cell membrane

What is the pigment in chloroplasts that performs photosynthesis?

• Nucleus

• (i'm can't think of any random options, but don't select this answer... pls)

• Thylakoid

• Chlorophyll

Why do leaves appear green?

• Because chlorophyll absorbs green light

• Because chlorophyll does not absorb green light

• Because chlorophyll absorbs all light

• Because chlorophyll absorbs violet light

The picture above is that of a chloroplast organelle under an electron microscope. What are the grey bits shown in the picture and what do they represent?

• Starch - product of photosynthesis

• Starch - stores water

• Mucus - stores dust

• Chlorophyll - makes leaves turn yellow

What is required for plants to photosynthesise? (Hint: there are 2)

• Oxygen

• Glucose

• Water

• Carbon dioxide
