How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?

• Light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis by increasing it up to a certain point.

• Light intensity decreases the rate of photosynthesis

• Light intensity causes photosynthesis to stop completely

• Light intensity has no effect on the rate of photosynthesis

What is the role of chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis?

• Regulates the temperature of the plant during photosynthesis

• Converts water into oxygen during photosynthesis

• Provides structural support for the plant during photosynthesis

• Absorbs light energy for photosynthesis

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

• 2H2O + 3CO2 → C3H6O3 + 3O2

• 4CO2 + 4H2O + light energy → C4H8O4 + 4O2

• 2CO2 + 2H2O + light energy → C2H4O2 + 2O2

• 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

How does carbon dioxide concentration affect the rate of photosynthesis?

• It directly influences the production of glucose and oxygen.

• It leads to the formation of carbon monoxide instead of glucose and oxygen.

• It causes a decrease in the production of glucose and oxygen.

• It has no effect on the rate of photosynthesis.

What is the effect of temperature on the rate of photosynthesis?

• It generally increases up to a certain point, after which it starts to decrease.

• It decreases as the temperature increases

• It has no effect on the rate of photosynthesis

• It increases indefinitely with temperature

What are the limiting factors of photosynthesis?

• Water concentration, oxygen level, and soil pH

• Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature

Explain the process of light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis.

• The light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.

• The light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis occur in the roots of the plant.

• The light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis occur in the stem of the plant.

• The light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis occur in the petals of the flower.

What is the purpose of using sodium hydrogen carbonate in a photosynthesis experiment?

• To provide carbon dioxide for the plants to use in photosynthesis

• To provide sunlight for the plants to use in photosynthesis

• To provide oxygen for the plants to use in photosynthesis

• To provide water for the plants to use in photosynthesis

How can the rate of photosynthesis be measured in a practical experiment?

• Observing the color of the plant's flowers

• Counting the number of oxygen bubbles produced by a plant

• Measuring the height of the plant

• Counting the number of leaves on the plant
