Exploring the Role of Photosynthesis in Ecosystems

What organisms are known as producers in ecosystems?

• Carnivores

• Herbivores

• Plants and algae

• Insects

What are the main ingredients needed for photosynthesis?

• Oxygen, Soil, Light

• Nitrogen, Oxygen, Water

• Carbon Monoxide, Sunlight, Soil

• Sunlight, Carbon Dioxide, Water

Which part of the plant is primarily involved in absorbing sunlight for photosynthesis?

• Stem

• Roots

• Leaves

• Flowers

Where in the plant cells does photosynthesis take place?

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplasts

• Ribosomes

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

• Absorb nutrients

• Release oxygen

• Capture sunlight energy

• Produce carbon dioxide

What happens to water molecules during photosynthesis?

• They form glucose

• They combine with minerals

• They are split into hydrogen and oxygen

• They evaporate

How do plants use the glucose produced during photosynthesis?

• To create oxygen

• To grow and store energy

• To attract insects

• To produce flowers

What role do stomata play in photosynthesis?

• Releasing oxygen and intaking carbon dioxide

• Transporting nutrients

• Capturing light energy

• Producing chlorophyll

What is the ecological significance of oxygen released during photosynthesis?

• It is essential for animal respiration

• It helps in cloud formation

• It supports combustion

• It increases humidity

Which organisms benefit directly from the glucose produced by plants?

• Only plants themselves

• All organisms in the ecosystem

• Only carnivores

• Only herbivores
