Photosynthesis requires additional energy in order to break up the inputs and build them into big glucose molecules. Where do plants get this extra energy from?

• thermal energy

• gravitational potential energy

• wind

• sunlight

How will a plant get its water for photosynthesis?

• From the air by pulling it into the stomata

• From the ground by pulling it in through its roots

• From the ground by pulling it into the stomata

• From the air by pulling it in through its roots

A chloroplast must absorb light energy in order to go through photosynthesis. How does chlorophyll help with this process?

• It pulls in CO2 from the air

• It is a pigment that reflects all the light away

• It is a pigment that absorbs the light

• It pulls in water from the ground
