The main source of chemical E used by cells is:

Back

ATP

Front

True or False: ATP is a reusable molecule.

Back

True

The organelle that performs photosynthesis

Back

chloroplast

Front

These are found in the chloroplasts. They are light absorbing molecules.

Back

pigments

Front

Stacks of thylakoid membranes in the chloroplasts are called:

Back

granum

Front

What is the purpose of the Light Dependent Reactions?

Back

to turn light E into chemical E (ATP and NADPH)

Front

What is the purpose of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

to use chemical E (ATP and NADPH) to turn carbon dioxide into glucose (sugar)

Front

How are the Light Dependent Reactions and the Calvin Cycle connected?

Back

the chemical E (ATP and NADPH) created by the Light Dependent Reactions is used to "power" the Calvin Cycle, allowing glucose to be made
