Biology Chapter 7

Front

What are the two products of the light reactions that are needed for the Calvin cycle?

Back

NADPH and ATP

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is catabolic and photosynthesis is anabolic.

Front

What does not describe the Light independent reaction?

Back

Produce ATP and NADPH

Front

Which plant produces sugars at a faster rate, corn or bean plants?

Back

Corn plants produce sugars at a faster rate than bean plants.

Front

What gases enter and exit plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Enter: Carbon dioxide; Exit: Oxygen

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions occur?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.
