Photosynthesis (Short Summary)

Photosynthesis

Short Summary

Light-Dependent Reaction

• Light energy from the sun is captured by the chloroplast during photosystem I and II

• This energy allows for the formation of ATP and NADPH

Light-Independent Reaction

• ATP and NADPH that were created during the first reaction (light-dependent) will be used in the Calvin Cycle to manufacture sugar

• This stage is also called the Calvin Cycle

Multiple Choice

True or False: Light energy from the sun in captured in the chloroplast during the light-independent reaction.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

ATP and NADPH are used to manufacture __________ during the _________________.

• energy; light-dependent reaction

• energy; light-independent reaction

• sugar; light-dependent reaction

• sugar; light-independent reaction
