“FIND THE FIB” - Photosynthesis
Determine which one of the three statements is a “fib” and circle its letter.
Re-write the fib to be a true statement in the blank box.
#1
A. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts of plant cells.
B. Chloroplasts contain pigments that absorb colors of light, such as chlorophyll.
C. Pigments are located in the stroma of chloroplasts.
#2
A. Photosynthesis consists of two reactions: light-dependent reaction and the Calvin Cycle.
B. Another name for the Calvin Cycle is respiration.
C. The first part of the light reaction involves the absorption of sunlight.
#3
A. The overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis is
6 H2O + sunlight + 6 O2  C6H12O6 + 6 CO2
B. Photosynthesis overall requires 3 reactants: sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide
C. Photosynthesis overall has two products: oxygen and glucose
#4
A. Autotrophs produce their own food by using sunlight and are also called producers.
B. An example of an autotroph would be a deer.
C. Heterotrophs require the consumption of food from other sources and are also called consumers.
#5
A. The light reaction takes place in the thylakoids of the chloroplast.
B. The Calvin Cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.
C. The final product of the Calvin cycle is oxygen.
#6
A. The reactants of the light dependent reaction are water and oxygen.
B. The products of the light dependent reaction are oxygen and ATP.
C. A reactant of the Calvin cycle is carbon dioxide.
