Photosynthesis

Front

What is the primary function of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

The light reactions convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Front

Which pigment is primarily responsible for capturing light energy in chloroplasts?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for capturing light energy.

Front

What is the main product of the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of the light reactions are ATP and NADPH.

Front

Which of the following is NOT produced during the light reactions: ATP, NADPH, or Glucose?

Back

Glucose is NOT produced during the light reactions.

Front

In which part of the plant does photosynthesis primarily occur?

Back

Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the leaves of the plant.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle's primary function?

Back

The Calvin cycle's primary function is to convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.

Front

How do light reactions contribute to the Calvin cycle?

Back

Light reactions produce ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle to synthesize glucose.

Front

What is the significance of glucose in plants?

Back

Glucose serves as an energy source and a building block for growth and development in plants.
