Chlorophyll

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the significance of the stroma in chloroplasts?

Back

The stroma is the site of the Calvin Cycle, where carbon fixation occurs.

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water provides electrons and protons for the light-dependent reactions and is split to release oxygen.
