Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions occur?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Front

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

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH).
