Unit 4: Honors Pulse Check #1 - Photosynthesis

Front

What type of energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis?

Back

Light energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the process called where carbon dioxide goes in and glucose comes out?

Back

Calvin cycle.

Front

Which bonds must be broken to form an ADP molecule?

Back

The bonds between C and D must be broken to form an ADP molecule.

Front

Where does the Calvin Cycle take place?

Back

The Calvin Cycle occurs in the stroma.

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in living organisms?

Back

ATP provides energy for cells.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages are the light reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen, ATP, and NADPH are produced during the light reactions.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the significance of the stroma in photosynthesis?

Back

The stroma is where the Calvin cycle occurs, allowing for the synthesis of glucose.
