Photosynthesis Quiz

What is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy?

• Photosynthesis

• Respiration

• Transpiration

• Fermentation

Which of the following are the main components required for photosynthesis?

• Sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water

• Oxygen, glucose, and chlorophyll

• Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium

• Carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and nitrogen

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

• Captures light energy

• Absorbs water

• Releases oxygen

• Produces glucose

What are the products of photosynthesis?

• Glucose and oxygen

• Carbon dioxide and water

• Nitrogen and phosphorus

• Chlorophyll and sunlight

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

• 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

• C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy

• 6N₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

• 6CO₂ + 6O₂ + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6H₂O
