Photosynthesis - Honors Biology 2024

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts

Front

Where does the Calvin Cycle take place in the chloroplast?

Back

Stroma

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar

Front

Where do the light reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

Thylakoid membrane

Front

What is the role of pigments other than chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

To absorb different wavelengths of light.

Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy (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?

Back

ATP and NADPH.

Front

What gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Front

What is the significance of the thylakoid membrane?

Back

It is where the light-dependent reactions occur.
