Photosynthesis

Front

Where in a plant cell does photosynthesis take place?

Back

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What are the main products of the Light Independent/Calvin Cycle?

Back

The main products of the Light Independent/Calvin Cycle are ADP, NADP+, and glucose.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to create glucose.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The correct equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 12H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2.

Front

What supplies the electrons during photolysis?

Back

Water supplies the electrons during photolysis.

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-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle).

Front

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

Back

During the light-dependent reactions, ATP and NADPH are produced.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin Cycle in photosynthesis?

Back

The Calvin Cycle is significant because it uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Front

How does carbon dioxide enter the plant?

Back

Carbon dioxide enters the plant through small openings called stomata.
