- C. Oxygen
- D. Chlorophyll
4. What is the function of chlorophyll in a plant?
- A. To absorb water from the soil

Photosynthesis Analysis and Concepts
1. If a plant grew to be very large, where did most of its physical mass come from?
- A. The soil it is planted in
- B. Water absorbed by the roots
- C. Carbon dioxide from the air
- D. Sunlight energy
2. Why is sunlight considered an 'energy source' rather than a 'material' in photosynthesis?
- A. Because it is invisible to the human eye
- B. Because it powers the reaction instead of being used up as an ingredient
- C. Because it is only needed at night
- D. Because it is stored inside the chloroplasts as a physical liquid
3. Which statement about plants and respiration is true?
- A. Plants only produce oxygen and never use it
- B. Plants perform cellular respiration, especially at night
- C. Plants only breathe in the soil at night
- D. Plants do not need oxygen at all
4. What role do the stomata play in the success of photosynthesis?
- A. They act as tiny holes to let carbon dioxide enter the leaves
- B. They turn sunlight into physical sugar crystals
- C. They trap chlorophyll inside the plant stems
- D. They absorb water from the soil into the leaves
