What organelle in the leaves of plants captures light energy from the sun?

Back

Chloroplasts

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

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 absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle.

Front

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

Back

ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

It converts carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.
