Back

Red and blue

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 chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

To absorb light energy for converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the role of the stroma in chloroplasts?

Back

It is the site of the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) where glucose is synthesized.

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

ATP and NADPH, along with oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
