Question

will plants that are kept in the dark undergo photosynthesis? *
a yes, because they do not need sunlight.
b no, because photosynthesis needs sunlight.
c yes, if they have water.
d no, because they will stop cellular respiration.
will plants that are kept in the dark undergo cellular respiration? *
a. no, they need sunlight for cellular respiration.
b yes, they use stored glucose for energy.
c no, they will shut down completely.
d yes, but only if they are watered.
what will happen if you forget to water your plants? *
a they will make more oxygen.
b photosynthesis will slow down and the plant will wilt.
c cellular respiration will increase.
d they will use more chloroplasts.

Explanation:

1. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon - dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Without sunlight, photosynthesis cannot occur. So, plants kept in the dark will not undergo photosynthesis.
2. Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to release energy. Plants can use stored glucose for cellular respiration even in the dark.
3. Water is essential for photosynthesis and maintaining turgor pressure in plant cells. Lack of water will slow down photosynthesis and cause the plant to wilt.

Answer:

1. B No, because photosynthesis needs sunlight.
2. B Yes, they use stored glucose for energy.
3. B Photosynthesis will slow down and the plant will wilt.
