Front

What is the reactant of the Light (Dependent) Reaction?

Back

The reactant of the Light (Dependent) Reaction is water (H₂O).

Front

What is the main purpose of the Light (Dependent) Reaction in photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of the Light (Dependent) Reaction is to produce ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the 'food' that plants produce during photosynthesis?

Back

The 'food' that plants produce during photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is a process where radiant energy (sunlight) is used to make glucose.

Front

What is the product of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The product of the Calvin Cycle is glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆).

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What role does NADPH play in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH is used as a reducing agent in the Calvin Cycle to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: @@6CO_2 + 6H_2O + light ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2@@.
