Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

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

Back
