Photosynthesis Quiz

What are photosynthetic pigments?

• Molecules that release light energy during photosynthesis

• Pigments that are produced by photosynthesis

• Molecules that absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

• Chemicals that inhibit the process of photosynthesis

Name the two main types of photosynthetic pigments.

• melanin and anthocyanins

• chlorophyll and carotenoids

• xanthophylls and phycobilins

• hemoglobin and myoglobin

Which pigment is responsible for capturing light energy in photosynthesis?

• carotene

• melanin

• hemoglobin

• chlorophyll

What is the primary function of light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?

• To convert light energy into chemical energy

• To regulate the temperature of the plant.

• To convert chemical energy into light energy.

• To produce oxygen as a byproduct.

Where do light-dependent reactions take place in the chloroplast?

• stroma

• nucleus

• mitochondria

• thylakoid membrane

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

• Chlorophyll absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.

• Chlorophyll helps in the synthesis of glucose.

• Chlorophyll provides structural support to plant cells.

• Chlorophyll captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy.

What is the structure responsible for carrying out photosynthesis in plant cells?

• chloroplast

• nucleus

• mitochondria

• endoplasmic reticulum

What are the three main parts of a chloroplast?

• grana, cytoplasm, and inner membrane

• nucleus, mitochondria, and Golgi apparatus

• vacuole, cell wall, and ribosomes

• thylakoids, stroma, and outer membrane

Which part of the chloroplast contains chlorophyll?

• Nucleus

• Thylakoid membranes

• Stroma

• Golgi apparatus

What is the function of the thylakoid membrane in photosynthesis?

• The function of the thylakoid membrane in photosynthesis is to release oxygen into the atmosphere.

• The function of the thylakoid membrane in photosynthesis is to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy.

• The function of the thylakoid membrane in photosynthesis is to store excess water.

• The function of the thylakoid membrane in photosynthesis is to break down glucose into carbon dioxide and water.
