Photosynthesis

What are the raw materials for photosynthesis?

• oxygen and glucose

• carbon dioxide and glucose

• water and carbon dioxide

• glucose and carbon dioxide

In what organelle does photosynthesis occur?

• cell wall

• chloroplast

• chlorophyll

• thylakoid

_______________ is a pigment that gives plants its green color and is responsible for capturing light during photosynthesis.

• chloroplast

• thylakoid

• chlorophyll

• mesophyll

The stages of photosynthesis are ______________ and calvin cycle.

Where does the light dependent reaction occur?

• In the thylakoid membrane

• In the thylakoid space

• In the stroma

• In the chloroplast

Where does the calvin cycle occur (light independent reaction)?

• In the thylakoid membrane

• In the thylakoid space

• In the stroma

• In the grana

It controls the opening of stomata

• chloroplast

• cell wall

• stroma

• guard cells

These are microscopic pores found in the leaf surface that allow entrance and exit of gases - carbon dioxide and oxygen.

• chloroplast

• guard cells

• stomata

• stroma

How is water transported from roots to the leaves for photosynthesis?

• through guard cells

• through vascular bundle - xylem

• through vascular bundle - phloem

• through stomata

What factors affect rate of photosynthesis?

• amount of water

• light intensity

• temperature

• amount of oxygen
