Q: A scientist measures the amount of glucose produced by a plant exposed to sunlight. Which equation represents the process being measured?

$$6\ \text{CO}_2 + 6\ \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{light energy} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\ \text{O}_2$$

Question 1

Which student correctly labeled the photosynthesis model, considering the site of the process, inputs, and outputs? Recall that photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast and the overall equation is: $$6\ 	ext{CO}_2 + 6\ 	ext{H}_2	ext{O} + 	ext{light energy} ightarrow 	ext{C}_6	ext{H}_{12}	ext{O}_6 + 6\ 	ext{O}_2.$$

Accepted Answer

student 2

Question 2

Which of the following best describes the main purpose of photosynthesis in plants?

Accepted Answer

To produce oxygen and glucose from carbon dioxide and water

Question 3

If a plant is placed in an environment with no carbon dioxide, which output of photosynthesis would be most directly affected?

Accepted Answer

Oxygen

Question 4

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

Accepted Answer

Chloroplast

Question 5

A scientist measures the amount of glucose produced by a plant exposed to sunlight. Which equation represents the process being measured?

Accepted Answer

$$6\ 	ext{CO}_2 + 6\ 	ext{H}_2	ext{O} + 	ext{light energy} ightarrow 	ext{C}_6	ext{H}_{12}	ext{O}_6 + 6\ 	ext{O}_2$$

Question 6

Which input is essential for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Accepted Answer

Water

Question 7

A plant is placed in a sealed container with only water and sunlight. Which product will NOT be produced?

Accepted Answer

Glucose

Question 8

Which of the following is a correct description of the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration

Question 9

If a plant's chloroplasts are damaged, which process will be most directly affected?

Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis

Question 10

Which of the following best explains why oxygen is released as a byproduct during photosynthesis?

Accepted Answer

Oxygen is released from water molecules during the light-dependent reactions

Question 11

A plant is exposed to green light only. Which output of photosynthesis is most likely to decrease?

Accepted Answer

Oxygen

Question 12

Which student incorrectly identified the site of photosynthesis in their model?

Accepted Answer

student 1

Question 13

Which of the following is NOT an input for photosynthesis?

Accepted Answer

Glucose

Question 14

A plant is placed in a dark room. Which process will be most directly affected?

Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis

Question 15

Which of the following best describes the role of water in photosynthesis?

Accepted Answer
