What are the two primary products created by photosynthesis
Glucose (sugar) and Oxygen
Why do most leaves appear green to the human eye
Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light but reflects green light
Plants only carry out photosynthesis during the day and only carry out respiration at night
False
The oxygen released into the atmosphere by plants during photosynthesis comes from splitting carbon dioxide molecules
False
What happens to the extra glucose that a plant doesn't use right away
It is turned into starch and stored for later
Where do plants get the water they need for photosynthesis
Through their roots
Can a plant survive on artificial light
Yes, as long as the light provides the right wavelengths
What happens to leaves in the fall that makes them turn red or orange
The green chlorophyll breaks down, revealing other colors that were hidden underneath
Why don't plants die at night
they store energy produced during the day as starch, which they break down to fuel their metabolism throughout the night
