Which of the following statements is false? Sunlight is the energy source for plant photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is contained in
organelles called chloroplasts. A by-product of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide. Roots have tiny root hairs that maximize the plant's ability to absorb water. NEXT
<span>Option 1: Sunlight is the energy source for plant photosynthesis. True: In photosynthesis, plants convert light energy from the sun to chemical energy in the form of glucose.
Option 2: Chlorophyll is contained in organelles called chloroplasts. True: Chlorophyll in the chloroplasts is what allows many wavelengths of light for be absorbed and used for photosynthesis.
Option 3: A by-product of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide. False: Plants require carbon dioxide to create glucose, and produce oxygen as a by-product.
Option 4: Roots have tiny root hairs that maximize the plant's ability to absorb water. True: Root hairs are very important for the absorption of nutrients and water by plant roots. </span><span /><span> </span>
