CR & Photosynthesis Scenario Practice

Front

What are stomata?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, while releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What do plants produce during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants produce glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

How do desert plants adapt to conserve water?

Back

Desert plants, such as succulents and cacti, keep their stomata closed most of the time to conserve water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the significance of oxygen produced in photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen produced in photosynthesis is essential for the survival of aerobic organisms, including humans, as it is used in cellular respiration.

Front

What environmental conditions can affect photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis can be affected by light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability.

Front

What is transpiration in plants?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is released from the stomata of plants, helping to regulate temperature and water loss.

Front

How do aquatic plants differ in their adaptation for photosynthesis?

Back

Aquatic plants often have adaptations such as floating leaves to maximize light exposure and specialized structures to absorb nutrients from water.
