Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis converts radiant energy into chemical energy.

Front

What do plants need to complete photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

ATP and NADPH are produced during the light-dependent reactions.

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions take place?

Back

The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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