chloroplast

Front

This part of the chloroplast splits water molecules, stores hydrogen, and are known as green "pancakes".

Back

thylakoids

Front

This part of the chloroplast is where glucose is assembled and is mostly empty space.

Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?

Back

stroma

Front

During the light dependent reactions, the enzyme ADP is converted to ATP and NADP+ is converted to NADPH.

Front

Which of the following steps of photosynthesis occurs in the Calvin Cycle? Carbon dioxide enters the leaf; enzymes break up water molecules, Glucose exits the leaf; ATP and NADPH are used as a power source, Water absorbed by the roots, flows up through the stem, Light energy, water, and carbon dioxide mix together to make glucose
