Integrated Sci 4.4 Formative Assessment

Front

What is the electron transport chain?

Back

A series of carrier molecules that transport electrons in the thylakoid membrane and capture energy.

Front

Which pigment captures energy from the sun during photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What is the balanced equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

What pigment causes leaves to change color in the fall?

Back

Carotenoids

Front

Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?

Back

In the stroma of the chloroplast.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What are carotenoids?

Back

Pigments that assist in photosynthesis and provide color to leaves.

Front

What is the function of the thylakoid membrane?

Back

It houses the electron transport chain and is where light-dependent reactions occur.

Front

What is ATP and its role in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during the light-dependent reactions.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

It is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH.
