ATP and Photosynthesis: Practice Test

Front

What is the process by which autotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of sugar?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

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

Back

To capture energy from sunlight and convert it into ATP and NADPH.

Front

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

Back

ATP, NADPH, and oxygen.

Front

What is the Calvin Cycle also known as?

Back

Light-independent reactions or dark reactions.

Front

What is the role of ATP in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP provides the energy needed for the Calvin Cycle to synthesize glucose.

Front

What does the 'TP' in ATP stand for?

Back

Tri (3) phosphates.

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions take place in the chloroplast?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes.

Front

What is a thylakoid?

Back

A membrane-bound compartment inside chloroplasts that contains chlorophyll and is the site of the light-dependent reactions.
