Stages of Photosyntheis Review

Front

What is the primary function of the Calvin Cycle (Dark Reactions)?

Back

To produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is NADPH in the context of the Light Reactions?

Back

Output.

Front

Which factor directly increases the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?

Back

Increasing carbon dioxide concentration.

Front

What is the main product of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

It is split to provide electrons and protons during the light reactions.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light Reactions and Calvin Cycle.

Front

Where do the light reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Front

What is produced during the light reactions besides oxygen?

Back

ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the significance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is essential for the light reactions.

Front

How does temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Increasing temperature can increase the rate up to an optimal point, beyond which it may decrease.
