Ch.9 Photosynthesis Review

Front

What are the products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are used in the Calvin cycle?

Back

ATP and NADPH are the products of the light reactions that are utilized in the Calvin cycle.

Front

Is water a necessary ingredient for photosynthesis?

Back

True, water is essential for the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

The chloroplast is the organelle where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

What is the overall product produced by photosynthesis?

Back

The overall products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

Water + Carbon Dioxide + Light Energy -> Glucose + Oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions take place?

Back

The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the function of ATP in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP provides the energy needed for the Calvin cycle to synthesize glucose.

Front

What is the function of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH acts as a reducing agent, providing electrons and hydrogen ions for the Calvin cycle.
