Photosynthesis

Front

Where do the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) take place?

Back

The dark reactions (Calvin cycle) take place in the stroma of the chloroplasts.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What does ATP stand for?

Back

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.

Front

What are the components of ATP?

Back

ATP contains adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups.

Front

What is the main function of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell, storing and releasing energy as needed.

Front

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

Back

The light-dependent reactions produce ATP, NADPH, and oxygen.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose (sugar).

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The overall equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is significant because it converts carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH.
