One-Word Answer Type Questions
Topic: Photosynthesis — Food Making Process in Plants
1. Question: What is the green pigment present in leaves essential for photosynthesis?
• Answer: Chlorophyll
• Explanation: Chlorophyll captures sunlight and helps in converting carbon dioxide and water into food during photosynthesis.
2. Question: What is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis?
• Answer: Sunlight
• Explanation: Sunlight provides the energy needed by plants to synthesize food.
3. Question: Through which tiny pores do leaves take in carbon dioxide?
• Answer: Stomata
• Explanation: Stomata are small openings on the leaf surface surrounded by guard cells, through which carbon dioxide enters the leaf.
4. Question: What is the main product formed during photosynthesis?
• Answer: Carbohydrate
• Explanation: Plants prepare carbohydrates like glucose during photosynthesis, which are stored as starch.
5. Question: Which gas is released as a byproduct during photosynthesis?
• Answer: Oxygen
• Explanation: Oxygen is released into the air during photosynthesis and is essential for the survival of living beings.
6. Question: What is the raw material absorbed from the soil for photosynthesis?
• Answer: Water
• Explanation: Roots absorb water from the soil and transport it to the leaves for photosynthesis.
7. Question: What is the term used for the continuous pipe-like structures that carry water to leaves?
• Answer: Vessels
• Explanation: Vessels transport water and minerals from the roots to the leaves where photosynthesis occurs.
8. Question: What type of chemical reaction is photosynthesis?
• Answer: Synthesis
• Explanation: Photosynthesis is a synthesis process where simple substances like carbon dioxide and water combine to form complex food substances.
9. Question: What is the stored form of carbohydrate in plants?
• Answer: Starch
• Explanation: Plants store the carbohydrate produced in photosynthesis in the form of starch in leaves and other parts.
10. Question: In which parts of plants, other than leaves, can photosynthesis occur?
• Answer: Green stems
• Explanation: In some plants, especially desert plants, photosynthesis also occurs in green stems as their leaves are modified into spines.
