ATP and Photosynthesis Review Game

Front

What is a catalyst?

Back

A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.

Front

How many phosphate groups does ATP have?

Back

ATP has 3 phosphate groups.

Front

What does removing a phosphate from ATP produce?

Back

Removing a phosphate from ATP turns it into ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate).

Front

What color light do plants reflect during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants reflect green light.

Front

What are the second set of reactions in photosynthesis called?

Back

The second set of reactions in photosynthesis are called light independent reactions.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, and reflects green.

Front

What are light-dependent reactions?

Back

Light-dependent reactions are the first stage of photosynthesis, occurring in the thylakoid membranes, where sunlight is converted into chemical energy.

Front

What is the stroma?

Back

The stroma is the fluid-filled space in chloroplasts where the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur.
