3.

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

a)

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

b)

Chlorophyll releases oxygen during photosynthesis.

c)

Chlorophyll is responsible for water absorption.

d)

Chlorophyll converts carbon dioxide into glucose.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide

b)

Water absorbed by roots

c)

Glucose produced by plants

d)

Oxygen from the atmosphere

7.

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?

a)

Increased light intensity generally increases the rate of photosynthesis up to a saturation point.

b)

Light intensity has no effect on photosynthesis.

c)

Photosynthesis occurs only in the dark regardless of light intensity.

d)

Higher light intensity decreases the rate of photosynthesis.

8.

What is the significance of water in the photosynthesis process?

a)

Water is used to absorb sunlight during photosynthesis.

b)

Water is a byproduct of photosynthesis.

c)

Water is crucial for providing electrons and protons in photosynthesis.

d)

Water helps in the formation of glucose without any role in electron transfer.

Plants use glucose for energy, storage, and structural purposes.

b)

Plants convert glucose into water for photosynthesis.

c)

Plants eliminate glucose as waste after photosynthesis.

d)

Plants use glucose to produce oxygen.
