Front

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

Back

NADPH and ATP

Front

Where does the Calvin cycle take place?

Front

What gas does the process of photosynthesis release into the atmosphere?

Back

Oxygen

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the primary function of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

To convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Calvin cycle?

Back

To convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose using ATP and NADPH.
