To split water and generate usable energy in the form of ATP

c)

To use ATP

d)

To fix gaseous CO2 into glucose

a)

thylakoid membrane

b)

stroma

c)

mesophyll

d)

mitochondria

9.

Plants need carbon dioxide from their environment to produce glucose during which stage of photosynthesis?

a)

The light-dependent stage on the thylakoids

b)

The light-independent stage in the stroma

c)

The light-dependent stage in the stroma

a)

water

b)

oxygen

c)

glucose

d)

carbon dioxide

12.

Leaf disks in the leaf disk lab floated because

a)

CO2 gas was released into the spaces in the leaf making them lighter

b)

Leaf disks only float when they stop performing photosynthesis

c)

O2 gas was released into the spaces in the leaf making them more buoyant and causing them to float

d)

Glucose is stored in the spaces in the leaf, making them float

13.

How does water enter root cells from the soil?

photosynthesis

15.

How does water leave plants?

a)

Pores in roots called stomata

b)

Pores in leaves called stomata

c)

Water doesn't leave; it automatically gets reused.

d)

Water doesn't leave; it gets stored within the plant.
