Question

based on your observations, which statements are accurate? choose three correct answers. large molecules like glucose cannot enter or exit chloroplasts. the structure of a chloroplast allows it to absorb light energy. oxygen and glucose are products of photosynthesis. chloroplasts need light energy, water, and oxygen to undergo photosynthesis chloroplasts convert chemical energy into light energy

Explanation:

1. Analyze each statement:

• "Large molecules like glucose cannot enter or exit chloroplasts": Chloroplasts have a semi - permeable membrane, and large molecules like glucose are produced inside and stay or are used, so this is accurate.
• "The structure of a chloroplast allows it to absorb light energy": Chloroplasts have chlorophyll and thylakoid structures that are adapted to absorb light, so this is accurate.
• "Oxygen and glucose are products of photosynthesis": The photosynthesis equation is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O+\text{light energy}

ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\), so oxygen and glucose are products, this is accurate.

• "Chloroplasts need light energy, water, and oxygen to undergo photosynthesis": The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and light energy (not oxygen), so this is incorrect.
• "Chloroplasts convert chemical energy into light energy": Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy (during photosynthesis), so this is incorrect.

1. Select the three correct ones from the above analysis.

Answer:

1. Large molecules like glucose cannot enter or exit chloroplasts
2. The structure of a chloroplast allows it to absorb light energy
3. Oxygen and glucose are products of photosynthesis
