Photosynthesis Plant Process Worksheet

Read the supermarket science note, then solve the plant-process clues. Use the word bank where helpful: sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, glucose, oxygen, chlorophyll.

A supermarket science note

At a supermarket, Isla notices leafy herbs beside a bright window. The herbs are living plants, not food factories powered by soil alone. In their leaves, chlorophyll absorbs light energy. The plant takes in water through its roots and carbon dioxide from the air through tiny openings called stomata. Using light energy, it changes water and carbon dioxide into glucose, a sugar the plant can use or store. Oxygen is released into the air. This process is called photosynthesis. If a plant has no light for a long time, it cannot make enough new glucose by photosynthesis and may become weak.

Decode the process

Use the note to answer each question.

1.Which three things go into photosynthesis to help a plant make glucose?
  • Sunlight, water and carbon dioxide
  • Soil, oxygen and glucose
  • Water, oxygen and chlorophyll
  • Sunlight, soil and oxygen
2.Where does most photosynthesis happen in a plant?
  • In the leaves
  • In the flowers
  • In the roots
  • In the seeds
3.Choose the two products of photosynthesis.
  • Glucose and oxygen
  • Water and carbon dioxide
  • Chlorophyll and sunlight
  • Oxygen and water
4.Complete the process: water + carbon dioxide + light energy → + .
5.Match each part or substance to its role: chlorophyll; roots; stomata; glucose.
  • Chlorophyll
  • Roots
  • Stomata
  • Glucose
  • Take up water
  • Sugar made by the plant
  • Absorbs light energy
  • Tiny openings for gas movement
6.True or false: A plant releases oxygen during photosynthesis.
TrueFalse
7.The herbs by the supermarket window are moved into a cupboard with no light. Explain why they may become weak if they stay there for a long time.
8.Is soil one of the materials changed into glucose during photosynthesis? Explain briefly.
9.A plant has water and carbon dioxide but its leaves are covered so no light reaches them. Which input is missing, and what process will be limited?
10.In your own words, give one reason photosynthesis matters to living things besides the plant itself.
