Biology: Photosynthesis

Front

Where in the plant cell does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.

Front

What molecule absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions occur?

Back

The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane.

Front

What are the individual flattened sacs in the chloroplast called?

Back

The individual flattened sacs are called thylakoids.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

What gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the stroma in a chloroplast?

Back

The stroma is the fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in a chloroplast.

Front

What are grana in a chloroplast?

Back

Grana are stacks of thylakoids in a chloroplast.
