Glucose

Front

Where does the light independent reaction take place?

Back

Stroma

Front

What are the two products of the light reactions that are needed for the Calvin cycle?

Back

NADPH and ATP

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

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 is produced as a byproduct of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

Oxygen (O2).
