Chapter 2, Problem 14TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose molecules using energy from sunlight. During this process, oxygen gas is evolved. Reactions of the photosynthesis take place in the chloroplast of the plant cell that contains the green pigment chlorophyll.

Plant utilize carbon dioxide in order to produce oxygen.arrow_forwardIdentify which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a. Even if plants have red leaves, they still perform photosynthesis. b. Photosynthesis is vital in plants to produce food and energy they need for growth and cellular respiration. Therefore, all plants need the same amount of sunlight to make enough food to grow. c. Aside from chlorophyll α and chlorophyll b in plants, plants also have carotenoids, which help plants absorb light energy for use in photosynthesis.arrow_forwardDiagram 3: Light Wave Absorption of Chlorophyll a and b. Chlorophyll a Chlorophyll b 400 450 500 550 600 650 700 Wavelength (nm) Plant chlorophyll chemicals will absorb, or take in, light wave energy in order to produce their own organic molecules used for cellular energy. Reflected light refers to those wavelengths of light that will "bounce off" of the chlorophyll and not be absorbed. Select the conclusion that most accurately summarizes the data in diagram 3. Red and blue light waves have equal importance during photosynthesis. The majority of light energy is attained from red light, while the blue light waves provide additional light energy to photosynthesis.
