Photosynthesis
Student Name: ____________________
Date: ____________________
Teacher: ____________________
Part A: Understanding the Basics

1. Fill in the Blanks:
- Photosynthesis mainly takes place in the ___________ of a plant.
- The green pigment that absorbs sunlight is called ___________.
- The products of photosynthesis are ___________ and ___________.
- Water is absorbed by the ___________ of the plant.
2. Photosynthesis Equation:
Write the chemical equation for photosynthesis:
[ ______ + ______ + Light Energy → ______ + ______ ]

Part B: Photosynthesis in Different Contexts
1. Real-World Application:
In cities, trees and plants are often planted along roadsides. How does this help in reducing
pollution, particularly carbon dioxide?
Answer: Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis, thus
helping in reducing pollution.
2. Critical Thinking:
During a science experiment, a plant is placed in a dark room with water and air. Will the
plant be able to perform photosynthesis? Why or why not?
Answer: No, the plant will not be able to perform photosynthesis because sunlight is
essential for the process.
Part C: Diagrams and Labeling

1. Label the Diagram:
Label the parts of the leaf involved in photosynthesis: Chloroplast, Stomata, Water intake,
Oxygen release.
Part D: Applications of Photosynthesis in Everyday Life

1. Photosynthesis and Oxygen Production:
Explain why cutting down rainforests (deforestation) can negatively impact the
environment, particularly in terms of oxygen production.
Answer: Deforestation reduces the number of trees, leading to less oxygen production and
increased carbon dioxide levels, which contributes to global warming.
2. Food Chain Connection:
Explain how photosynthesis indirectly affects animals, including humans.
Answer: Photosynthesis produces the glucose that plants use to grow. These plants are then
eaten by animals, and the energy is passed through the food chain, including to humans.
Part E: Experimental Design

1. Design a Simple Experiment:
Design a simple experiment to test if sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis. Use the
following materials: two identical plants, water, a sunny window, and a dark closet.
What will be your independent variable?
What will be your dependent variable?
Write down the steps of the experiment and your prediction.
Answer: Independent variable - Sunlight exposure. Dependent variable - Plant growth and
photosynthesis. The plant in sunlight will thrive, while the one in the dark will not.
Part F: Multiple-Choice Questions

1. Photosynthesis takes place in which part of the plant?
A) Roots
B) Stem
C) Leaves
D) Flowers
Answer: C) Leaves
2. What gas is used by plants during photosynthesis?
A) Oxygen
B) Carbon dioxide
C) Nitrogen
D) Hydrogen
Answer: B) Carbon dioxide
3. The main purpose of photosynthesis is to produce:
A) Energy for animals

B) Glucose for the plant
C) Minerals for the soil
D) Water for the environment
Answer: B) Glucose for the plant
Part G: Extension Question (Higher-Level Thinking)

1. Photosynthesis and Climate Change:
Explain how planting more trees can help reduce the effects of global warming.
Answer: Planting more trees increases the number of plants performing photosynthesis,
which absorbs more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing the greenhouse effect
and mitigating global warming.
4. Brown leaves are often seen during autumn or in plants that are stressed or
unhealthy. Do you think these brown leaves can still perform photosynthesis? Why
or why not?
Answer:
Brown leaves cannot perform photosynthesis effectively because they lack
chlorophyll, the green pigment needed to absorb sunlight. Without chlorophyll, the
leaves are unable to convert sunlight into energy, which is essential for
photosynthesis.
