Unit 4: Photosynthesis and Respiration Notebook Quiz

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?

• Carbon Dioxide

• Oxygen

• Glucose

• Nitrogen

Which type of organism cannot perform photosynthesis?

• Plants

• Animals

• Fungi

• Bacteria

What is the Calvin cycle?

• A process where glucose is broken down for energy.

• A set of chemical reactions in chloroplasts that convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

• A method of cellular respiration in animals.

• A type of fermentation that occurs in yeast.

What are the two cycles of photosynthesis?

• The light dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light independent reactions).

• The Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain.

• The Calvin cycle and glycolysis.

• The light dependent reactions and fermentation.

What is the importance of oxygen in the process of respiration?

• Oxygen is essential for aerobic respiration as it helps in the breakdown of glucose to release energy.

• Oxygen is used to produce carbon dioxide during anaerobic respiration.

• Oxygen is not necessary for respiration in all organisms.

• Oxygen helps in the synthesis of proteins during respiration.

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

• Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

• Chlorophyll helps in the respiration process of plants.

• Chlorophyll is responsible for the growth of roots in plants.

• Chlorophyll protects plants from harmful UV rays.

What is glucose's role in cellular respiration?

• Glucose is a waste product of cellular respiration.

• Glucose is the primary energy source that is broken down during cellular respiration to produce ATP.

• Glucose is a type of protein used in cellular respiration.

• Glucose is a vitamin that aids in cellular respiration.

What is photosynthesis?

• Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

• Photosynthesis is the method by which animals convert food into energy.

• Photosynthesis is the way in which plants absorb water from the soil.

• Photosynthesis is the process of converting carbon dioxide into oxygen without sunlight.

Where does photosynthesis occur in a plant?

• In the roots of the plant.

• In the stems of the plant.

• In the leaves of the plant.

• In the flowers of the plant.

What type of respiration produces ethanol and CO2 when glucose is broken down?

• Aerobic respiration

• Anaerobic respiration

• Fermentation

• Cellular respiration
