  • Q3
    Why is light needed for photosynthesis?
    It provides the energy needed
    It adds the mass to make sugar
    So the plant can see what it's doing
    It helps to keep the plant green

  • Q6
    What is a 'tissue'?
    A group of organisms working together to perform a function
    A group of organs working together to perform a function
    A group of cells working together to perform a function
    A group of organelles working together to perform a function
    30s
  • Q7
    What is the purpose of chlorophyll
    To release carbon dioxide
    To absorb light energy

    To make amino acids (together with nitrates)
    Muscle contraction
    30s
  • Q13
    How do plants get the water needed for photosynthesis
    Taken into the phloem by active transport
    Taken into root hair cells by osmosis
    Absorbed by the leaves following rain
    Made from carbon dioxide
