Mills: Ch. 8 Photosynthesis

Front

What are grana connected by?

Back

Grana are connected to each other by structures called lamellae.

Front

What is required for the final stage of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide must be present for the final stage of photosynthesis to occur.

Front

What does the light-independent reaction use for energy?

Back

The light-independent reaction uses ATP for energy.

Front

What process builds sugar molecules from carbon dioxide?

Back

The Calvin Cycle builds sugar molecules from carbon dioxide.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis.

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).

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water provides electrons and protons for the light-dependent reactions and is split to release oxygen.

Front

What is the main product of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The main product of the Calvin Cycle is glucose.
