Question

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

Answer 1

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. 

Answer 2

I'd say that the Third option is false because all the other choices make the most sense
