Photosynthesis

Front

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

Back

Energy and electron storage.

Front

What leaf structure prevents water loss in plants?

Back

Cuticle.

Front

Which type of plant produces sugars at a faster rate, corn or bean plants?

Back

Corn plants produce sugars at a faster rate than bean plants.

Front

Why do most plants appear green?

Back

Because chlorophyll reflects green light.

Front

Where are ATP synthase complexes located in plant cells?

Back

In the thylakoid membrane and inner mitochondrial membranes.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

ATP and NADPH.

Front

What gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Front

What is the main product of the Calvin cycle?

Back

Glucose (sugar).
