Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Question 1 • First Semester Biology

Which statement about green plants is true?

Answer
A
Green plants are responsible for water vapor in the atmosphere.
B
Green plants are responsible for oxygen in the atmosphere.
C
Green plants use photosynthesis, not cellular respiration.
D
Green plants are primary consumers.

Explanation

Green plants release oxygen during photosynthesis, when they use light energy to make sugars from carbon dioxide and water. Plants also contribute water vapor through transpiration, but they are not the only source of atmospheric water vapor, so A is not the best statement. They perform cellular respiration as well as photosynthesis, and they are producers rather than primary consumers.
