Photosynthesis

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions occur in photosynthesis?

Back

Thylakoid membrane.

Front

What gas is released by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is a granum in the context of photosynthesis?

Back

A stack of thylakoids.

Front

What pigment absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the primary function of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

To convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

ATP, NADPH, and oxygen.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis that convert carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH.
