Front

What is the ultimate original source of energy for living organisms?

Back

The Sun

Front

What gas do plants release during the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen

Front

In which part of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide used to help synthesize glucose?

Back

Light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle)

Front

What are the products of light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen, NADPH, and ATP

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is split to provide electrons and protons, and it releases oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle)

Front

How does sunlight contribute to photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed to drive the light-dependent reactions.

Front

What is the main purpose of the light-independent reactions?

Back

To convert carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.
