Photosynthesis Quiz

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

• To reflect green light, giving plants their color

• To absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

• To convert light energy into stored chemical energy

• To produce oxygen for animal respiration

Which equation best describes the process of photosynthesis?

• 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2

• C6H12O6 + 6CO2 = 6H2O + 6O2 + Light Energy

• 6H2O + 6O2 = C6H12O6 + 6CO2

• C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy

What are the two main groups of reactions in photosynthesis?

• The light reactions and the Calvin cycle

• The Calvin cycle and the Krebs cycle

• The ATP cycle and the NADPH cycle

• The light reactions and the dark reactions

Where in the plant cell does photosynthesis take place?

• In the ribosome

• In the mitochondria

• In the nucleus

• In the chloroplast

What molecule absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis?

• Chlorophyll

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

What is the role of ATP and NADPH in photosynthesis?

• They absorb sunlight

• They convert oxygen into carbon dioxide

• They are used to create glucose from carbon dioxide

• They reflect green light, giving plants their color

What is a main product of Photosynthesis?

• Oxygen

• Glucose

• ATP

• NADPH

What is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis?
