Photosynthesis

Front

Where are chloroplasts located in the plant?

Back

Chloroplasts are primarily located in the leaves of the plant.

Front

What process uses sunlight to energize ADP to ATP?

Back

The Light Dependent Reactions use sunlight to convert ADP to ATP.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

The chloroplast is the organelle that performs photosynthesis.

Front

What part of photosynthesis uses Carbon Dioxide to help make glucose?

Back

Carbon Dioxide is used in the Light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle) to help make glucose.

Front

Which process releases oxygen during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is released during the Light-Dependent Reactions.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

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

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, providing the energy needed for photosynthesis.

Front

What is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main purpose of the Light-Dependent Reactions?

Back

The main purpose of the Light-Dependent Reactions is to convert solar energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH).
