Plants and Photosynthesis

What is photosynthesis?

• The process by which animals use sunlight to synthesize foods

• The process by which plants use moonlight to synthesize foods

• The process by which rocks use sunlight to synthesize foods

• The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods

What are the two main inputs for photosynthesis?

• Oxygen and nitrogen

• Carbon dioxide and water

• Sunlight and soil

• Glucose and chlorophyll

Where does photosynthesis take place in a plant cell?

• Vacuole

• Cell membrane

• Chloroplasts

• Mitochondria

What are the products of photosynthesis?

• Glucose and oxygen

• Methane and nitrogen dioxide

• Nitrogen and phosphorus

• Carbon dioxide and water

How does photosynthesis contribute to the oxygen cycle?

• It produces oxygen as a byproduct

• It absorbs oxygen from the atmosphere

• It releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

• It has no impact on the oxygen cycle
