Photosynthesis

Sunlight is the main source of energy that drives the photosynthesis process?

• True

• False

Chlorophyll allows plants to absorb energy from the sun.

• True

• False

The organelle chloroplast is green because of a special light-absorbing pigment called chlorophyll.

• True

• False

Which of the following is needed in order to start photosynthesis?-You can choose up to two possible answers

• Water--Agua

• Oxygen

• Glucose/Sugar--glucosa/azúcar

• Carbon dioxide

What are the products of photosynthesis? (Hint- this is what is on the right side of the arrow).

• water and carbon dioxide
• oxygen and glucose
• oxygen and carbon dioxide
• oxygen and water

Which of the following is the correct equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

• CO₂ + H₂O + light --> O₂ + Sugar

• CO₂ + sugar + H₂O --> O₂ + light
• O₂ + light + H₂O --> CO₂ + Sugar

• CO₂ + O₂ + H₂O --> Light+ Sugar
