Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the

• The process of converting light into sound

• The process of converting light into energy for plants

• The process of converting water into oxygen

Chloroplasts are found mainly in cells of

• mesophyll

• chlorophyll

• cytokinesis

• thylakoid

A typical mesophyll cell has _____ chloroplasts

• 20-50

• 30-40

• 10-20

• 20-30

The chlorophyll is in the membranes of

• Thylakoid

• mesophyll

• chloroplast

Photosynthesis can be summarized as the following equation

• 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + Light energy ->

  C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O

• C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O + Light energy ->

  6 CO2 + 12 H2O

• CO2 + H2O →

  C6H12O6 + O2

Photosynthesis is a redox process in which H2O is

• oxidized

• reduced

Photosynthesis is a redox process in which CO2 is

• reduced

• oxidized

what are the 2 stages of photosynthesis

• Transcription and translation

• Light reaction and Calvin cycle

• Glycolysis and Krebs cycle

• Anaerobic and aerobic phases

Substances that absorb visible light are known as

• Invisibleators

• See-throughizers

• pigments

• Transparency enhancers

leaves are green because Chlorophyll molecules of chloroplast absorb ____ and emit green light

• blue- violet and red light

• X-rays and transmit rainbow light

• Infrared and transmit black light
