Photosynthesis

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

Front

What part of photosynthesis uses Carbon Dioxide to make glucose?

Back

Light independent reactions

Front

What do plants absorb through their roots to carry out photosynthesis?

Back

Water

Front

What is the ultimate source of energy for living things?

Back

Sun

Front

What is the first step in photosynthesis?

Back

The absorption of light by chlorophyll

Front

What pigment is primarily responsible for absorbing light in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and Light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle)

Front

Where do light-dependent reactions occur in the plant cell?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

ATP and NADPH

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water provides electrons and protons for the light-dependent reactions and releases oxygen as a byproduct.
