Chapter 9 Photosynthesis Test

Front

What is the process of converting ADP to ATP?

Back

An input of energy to attach a third phosphate group.

Front

What are the main structures found in chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts contain thylakoids, which are organized into stacks called grana, surrounded by a fluid-filled stroma.

Front

What is the primary change that occurs during photosynthesis?

Back

Changes that convert light energy into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates.

Front

What is the role of NADP+ in photosynthesis?

Back

NADP+ accepts and releases high-energy electrons and a hydrogen ion.

Front

What can be identified from the chemical equation of photosynthesis?

Back

The source of carbon atoms in the carbohydrate product.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are light-dependent reactions?

Back

Light-dependent reactions are the first stage of photosynthesis where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Front

What are light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle)?

Back

Light-independent reactions use ATP and NADPH produced in light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Front

What is the significance of electron carriers in photosynthesis?

Back

Electron carriers transport high-energy electrons during the light-dependent reactions, facilitating energy transfer.
