Front

What happens to the O2 created in the light phase of photosynthesis?

Back

Exits the leaf through the stomata.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle.

Front

Where does photosynthesis primarily take place in plants?

Back

In the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the role of stomata in photosynthesis?

Back

Stomata allow for gas exchange, including the release of oxygen.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of water in photosynthesis?

Back

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