Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?
Back
The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens during the light-dependent reactions?
Back
During the light-dependent reactions, sunlight is captured by chlorophyll, and energy is used to split water molecules, releasing oxygen and producing ATP and NADPH.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the Calvin cycle?
Back
The Calvin cycle is the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis where ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
Back
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + sunlight energy → 6 O2 + C6H12O6.
