Front

What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle?

Back

To produce simple sugars from carbon dioxide.

Front

What is directly associated with photosystem I?

Back

Receiving electrons from the thylakoid membrane electron transport chain.

Front

What light does chlorophyll mostly absorb?

Back

Red and blue light.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the role of ATP in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP provides energy for the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the role of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH provides reducing power for the Calvin cycle.

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions occur?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
