Exercise 1– Identifying Transitive and Intransitive Verbs (Photosynthesis and Respiration)
In this exercise, we will identify the transitive and intransitive verbs in sentences related to photosynthesis and respiration. Remember, transitive verbs have a direct object, while intransitive verbs do not. Let's go through the sentences:
1. The chlorophyll molecules capture sunlight effectively.
2. Oxygen is released during the photosynthesis process.
3. Plants convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
4. Scientists studied the impact of light intensity on photosynthesis.
5. Leaves transpire water vapor to regulate temperature.
6. The mitochondria produce energy during cellular respiration.
7. The enzyme catalyzed the breakdown of glucose.
8. Carbon dioxide levels have been rising steadily.
9. The roots absorb essential minerals from the soil.
10. The stomata opened in response to increased light.
11. Photosynthesis and respiration provide energy for plant growth.
12. The chloroplasts store glucose for future use.
13. Sunlight triggers the release of oxygen in the leaves.
14. Experiments have demonstrated the importance of carbon dioxide.
15. Water and nutrients move through the xylem and phloem.
16. It was raining until the soil was saturated.
17. There are exactly 100 chloroplasts in each leaf cell.
18. The enzymes catalyze the breakdown of glucose molecules.
19. The leaves help regulate the exchange of gases.
20. During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
