Front

What is the site of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

Thylakoid

Front

Does the light-dependent reaction produce ATP?

Back

True

Back

Carbon dioxide

Front

What is required for the light-dependent reactions?

Back

Water

Front

What is released during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

Oxygen

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What molecule is produced as a byproduct of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

Oxygen

Front

What is ATP and why is it important in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, to drive the photosynthesis process.
