Front

Which of the following is not needed to start the light reaction: H2O, thylakoid, CO2?

Back

CO2

Front

What part of the plant cell performs photosynthesis?

Back

The Chloroplast

Front

The electron transport chain is embedded in the membrane of which structure?

Back

Membrane of thylakoid

Front

What is the reactant of the light dependent reactions?

Back

H2O

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 role does water (H2O) play in the light dependent reactions?

Back

Water is split to provide electrons, protons, and oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH is used as a reducing agent in the Calvin cycle to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Front

What is the role of ATP in the light dependent reactions?

Back

ATP provides the energy needed for various biochemical processes, including the Calvin cycle.

Front

Where do the light dependent reactions occur in the chloroplast?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes.
