  1. Question 1

    Photosynthesis is the process of synthesis of glucose from:

    • ACarbon dioxide and water
    • BOxygen and glucose
    • CProtein and water
    • DCarbon dioxide and oxygen
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The chapter defines photosynthesis as the synthesis of glucose from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light and chlorophyll.

  2. Question 2

    Which organisms use inorganic raw materials to prepare organic food?

    • AAutotrophic organisms
    • BOnly animals
    • COnly fungi
    • DAll heterotrophic organisms
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Autotrophic organisms such as plants and some bacteria use inorganic raw materials to prepare organic food.

  3. Question 3

    The main organic product of photosynthesis mentioned in the chapter is:

    • ACarbohydrates
    • BProteins
