Front

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

To absorb light energy for converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the role of ATP in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP provides energy for the light-independent reactions.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
