  • Q3
    If carbon dioxide is removed from a plant’s environment, what would you expect to happen to the plant’s production of sugars?
    Carbon dioxide does not affect the production of sugars in plants.
    More sugars will be produced.
    Fewer sugars will be produced.

  • Q5
    What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?
    6O2 + C6H12O6 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
    6CO2 + 6H2O → 6O2 + C6H12O6 + Energy
    6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy → 6O2 + C6H12O6
    6O2 + C6H12O6 + Energy → 6CO2 + 6H2O
