Question

1. what is produced and released back into the environment as a result of photosynthesis?a. carbon dioxideb. atpc. oxygend. minerals8. which statement best describes the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis as the passage explains?a. chlorophyll stores the glucose made by the plant.b. chlorophyll is the organelle where photosynthesis happens.c. chlorophyll is a green pigment that aids the reaction inside chloroplasts.d. chlorophyll pulls water up from the roots.9. according to the passage, what happens to the sugar (glucose) after it is made in photosynthesis?a. it is released into the air through stomata.b. it is sent to mitochondria to be broken down into atp.c. it is converted into carbon dioxide and water.d. it remains in the chloroplast forever.10.the chemical equation given in the passage is: $6co_2 + 6h_2o + \text{light energy} \

ightarrow c_6h_{12}o_6 + 6o_2$. what does this equation mean as the passage explains?a. six molecules of oxygen and six molecules of sugar make carbon dioxide and water.b. six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water, with light energy, make one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen.c. light energy is produced when glucose and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide and water.d. glucose is broken into six molecules of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Explanation:

1. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, water, and light energy to produce glucose and oxygen; oxygen is released into the environment.
2. Chlorophyll is a green pigment located in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy to drive photosynthetic reactions.
3. After glucose is produced, it is transported to mitochondria where cellular respiration breaks it down into ATP for the plant's energy use.
4. The chemical equation reads as 6 molecules of carbon dioxide plus 6 molecules of water, using light energy, react to form 1 molecule of glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen.

Answer:

1. C. Oxygen
2. C. Chlorophyll is a green pigment that aids the reaction inside chloroplasts.
3. B. It is sent to mitochondria to be broken down into ATP.
4. B. Six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water, with light energy, make one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen.
