• Carotene

• Melanin

• Chlorophyll

What is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds using energy from sunlight?

• Photosynthesis

• Carbonization

• Sunlightification

• Chlorophyllation

Which plant tissue transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves?

• Epidermis

• Phloem

• Xylem

• Stoma

Which plant tissue transports sugars produced during photosynthesis to other parts of the plant?

• Stomata

• Epidermis

• Phloem

• Xylem

Name one adaptation of a leaf that helps in the process of photosynthesis.

• Large surface area and thin structure

• Round shape and thick veins

• Red color and fuzzy texture

• Waxy coating and spiky edges

What is the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis?

• 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

• 6CO2 + 6H2O + heat energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

• 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

• 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

• Absorb light energy

• Convert light energy into heat

• Reflect light energy

• Store light energy

What is the role of xylem in photosynthesis?

• Xylem releases oxygen during photosynthesis.

• Xylem absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

• Xylem converts carbon dioxide into glucose for photosynthesis.

• Xylem transports water and minerals to the leaves for photosynthesis.

What is the function of phloem in photosynthesis?

• Producing oxygen

• Transporting the products of photosynthesis

• Storing water

• Absorbing sunlight

How do plants adapt to low light conditions to optimize photosynthesis?

• Increasing chlorophyll content, adjusting leaf orientation, and maximizing light capture efficiency.

• Adjusting chlorophyll content, maximizing leaf orientation, and decreasing light capture efficiency.

• Decreasing chlorophyll content, changing leaf color, and reducing light capture efficiency.

• Maintaining chlorophyll content, increasing leaf orientation, and minimizing light capture efficiency.
