    What gas do plants release as a byproduct of photosynthesis?
    Methane
    Carbon Dioxide
    Nitrous Oxide
    Oxygen
    30s
  • Q6
    What is the primary function of photosynthesis in plants?
    To regulate water loss
    To convert light energy into chemical energy
    To produce seeds
    To absorb nutrients from the soil
    30s
  • Q7
    Which wavelength of light is most effectively used by chlorophyll during photosynthesis?
    Red and blue light
    Green light
    Yellow light
    Infrared light
    30s
  • Q8
    What is the primary site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
    Cytoplasm
    Thylakoid membranes
    Stroma
    Roots
    30s
  • Q9
    What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
    C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
