Question

name:_______________________ date:________
chloroplasts and photosynthesis
plant cells and some algae contain
an organelle called the chloroplast. the chloroplast
allows plants to harvest energy from sunlight to
carry on a process known as photosynthesis.
specialized pigments in the chloroplast (including the common green pigment
chlorophyll) absorb sunlight and use this energy to combine carbon dioxide and
water and make glucose and oxygen. the complete the chemical reaction
for photosynthesis is:
6 co₂ + 6 h₂o + energy (from sunlight) → c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6 o₂
raw materials energy products
in this way, plant cells manufacture glucose and other carbohydrates that
they can store for later use. photosynthetic cells found mainly in the leaves may
have thousands of chloroplasts.
questions:
13 what type of cells contains chloroplasts?_________________________
14 what is the energy autotrophs use to make their own food?__________
15 the food making process is called _____________.

1. the food making process is called

type a response

1. what are the raw materials for

photosynthesis?

Explanation:

Question 13

From the text, it says "Plant cells and some Algae contain an organelle called the chloroplast." So the cells with chloroplasts are plant cells and some algae cells.

The text states "The chloroplast allows plants to harvest energy from sunlight to carry on a process known as Photosynthesis" and autotrophs (like plants) use this energy. So the energy is from sunlight.

The text clearly mentions "The chloroplast allows plants to harvest energy from sunlight to carry on a process known as Photosynthesis" and Photosynthesis is the food - making process for plants (autotrophs).

Answer:

Plant cells and some algae cells
