1.

What is photosynthesis?

a)

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize oxygen with the help of chlorophyll pigment, carbon dioxide, and water.

b)

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize water with the help of chlorophyll pigment, carbon dioxide, and oxygen.

c)

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use moonlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll pigment, carbon dioxide, and water.

d)

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll pigment, carbon dioxide, and water.

2.

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

a)

chloroplast

b)

endoplasmic reticulum

c)

mitochondria

d)

nucleus

3.

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

a)

Chlorophyll helps in the process of cell division.

b)

Chlorophyll captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy.

c)

Chlorophyll provides structural support to plants.

d)

Chlorophyll absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.

4.

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

a)

glucose, carbon dioxide, and water

b)

oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water

c)

sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water

d)

chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, and water

5.

What are the products of photosynthesis?

a)

carbon dioxide and water

b)

starch and nitrogen

c)

ATP and NADPH

d)

glucose and oxygen

6.

Why is photosynthesis important for plants?

a)

Photosynthesis is important for plants because it allows them to produce their own food and release oxygen into the atmosphere.

b)

Photosynthesis is important for plants because it allows them to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

c)

Photosynthesis is not important for plants.

d)

Photosynthesis is important for plants because it allows them to absorb oxygen from the atmosphere.

7.

How does photosynthesis contribute to the oxygen cycle?

a)

Photosynthesis contributes to the oxygen cycle by absorbing oxygen.

b)

Photosynthesis contributes to the oxygen cycle by producing carbon dioxide.

c)

Photosynthesis contributes to the oxygen cycle by reducing oxygen levels.

d)

Photosynthesis contributes to the oxygen cycle by releasing oxygen.

8.

What is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis?

a)

sunlight

b)

oxygen

c)

carbon dioxide

d)

water
