Front

Where do the light reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

Thylakoid membrane.

Front

What are the two products of the light reactions needed for the Calvin cycle?

Back

NADPH and ATP.

Front

Which step of cellular respiration is anaerobic?

Back

Glycolysis.

Front

What does carbon combine with to form glucose in the Calvin cycle?

Back

RuBP.

Front

In the overall photosynthetic reaction, which reactant is used in the Calvin Cycle?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the primary function of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into ATP for energy.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Front

What is the role of RuBP in photosynthesis?

Back

RuBP combines with carbon dioxide to initiate the Calvin cycle.
