Question

the overall purpose of photosynthesis is to produce
1 point
o sunlight
glucose
o oxygen
o carbon dioxide
o atp & nadph
o water
o chlorophyll

chlorophyll is green because this is the wavelength of light that it best
1 point
absorbs.
o true
o false

Explanation:

• First question: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose (a sugar) and oxygen. The main product that is the goal of the overall process (as it stores chemical energy) is glucose. Sunlight is an input, oxygen is a by - product, carbon dioxide and water are reactants, ATP & NADPH are produced in the light - dependent reactions (intermediate energy - carrying molecules), and chlorophyll is a pigment involved in capturing light.
• Second question: Chlorophyll is green because it reflects green light, not because it absorbs it best. It absorbs red and blue light more effectively for the photosynthetic process.

Answer:

• First question: glucose
• Second question: False
