Photosynthesis: Factors and Processes

What is the primary function of photosynthesis in plants?

• Convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose

• Convert chemical energy into light energy

• Absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen

• Produce chlorophyll for plant growth

Which factor is NOT mentioned as influencing the rate of photosynthesis?

• Soil pH

• Light intensity

• Carbon dioxide concentration

• Temperature

What happens to the rate of photosynthesis when light intensity is extremely high?

• It slows down and inhibits photosynthesis

• It continues to increase indefinitely

• It remains constant

• It doubles

Why is carbon dioxide concentration important in photosynthesis?

• It is a primary reactant that combines with water to produce glucose

• It provides energy for the process

• It helps in the absorption of light

• It regulates the temperature of the plant

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

• Absorbs light energy required for photosynthesis

• Reflects all light making plants appear green

• Increases the temperature of the plant

• Converts glucose into energy
