Photosynthesis practice

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

light + carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen

Front

Which organisms undergo photosynthesis?

Back

Algae and plants

Front

In which molecule is energy stored during photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose

Front

What happens to sugar production if carbon dioxide is completely removed from a plant's environment?

Back

Sugars will not be produced.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

ATP and NADPH, along with oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What is the primary purpose of the Calvin cycle?

Back

To convert carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH.

Front

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Increased light intensity generally increases the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain point.
