Front

What color is not used by chlorophyll pigments in photosynthesis?

Back

Green.

Front

What is the primary function of the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths.

Front

What is produced as a byproduct of the light reactions?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

The set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose.
