Photosynthesis (Part 2)

Front

What are the main products of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP, NADPH, O2

Front

Which process in cellular respiration is analogous to the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

Electron Transport Chain

Front

If cellular respiration is an exergonic reaction, what type of reaction is photosynthesis?

Back

Anabolic

Front

True or False: NADPH is simply the plant version of NADH found in animals.

Back

True

Front

What is the primary product from the light independent reactions that serves as an energy source in the light dependent reactions?

Back

NADPH

Front

What is the role of ATP in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP provides energy for the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle).

Front

What is the significance of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH is used as a reducing agent in the Calvin Cycle to convert CO2 into glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle).

Front

Where do the light reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Front

What is the main purpose of the light reactions?

Back

To convert solar energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH).
