Photosynthesis

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light Reactions and Calvin Cycle

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Front

What is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2)

Front

Where in the plant does photosynthesis primarily occur?

Back

In the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the role of water (H2O) in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is split during the light reactions to provide electrons and protons.

Front

What is NADP+ and its role in photosynthesis?

Back

NADP+ is an electron carrier that becomes NADPH during the light reactions.

Front

What is the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The Calvin Cycle is the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis, where CO2 is converted into glucose.

Front

What is the significance of light in photosynthesis?

Back

Light provides the energy needed to drive the reactions of photosynthesis.
