LS Topic 5 Test

Front

What kind of sugar do plants create during photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose is the sugar produced by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the first step in photosynthesis?

Back

The first step in photosynthesis is the light dependent reaction.

Front

Which organisms perform photosynthesis?

Back

Only Autotrophs perform photosynthesis.

Front

What are living things that gain energy by eating other organisms called?

Back

Living things that gain energy by eating other organisms are called Heterotrophs.

Front

What is the main purpose of the light dependent reactions?

Back

The main purpose of the light dependent reactions is to provide the energy for the Calvin cycle.

Front

Define 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 is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is produced during the light dependent reactions?

Back

During the light dependent reactions, ATP and NADPH are produced.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose.
