Light and Photosynthesis

Match

Match the following structures found in the chloroplast to their function

• Outer membrane

• Thylakoid

• Grana

• Lamellae

• Stroma

Holds the form of the organelle and lets substances in and out

Traps light energy and photolyses water

A stack of thylakoids

Connect Grana together

The inner fluid. Contains enzymes, starch and the chloroplast's genome

Multiple Choice

What are the two products of the light reactions that are needed for the calvin cycle?

• NAD and NADPH

• NADP + and Glucose

• NADPH and ATP

• Oxygen and NADPH

Multiple Choice

Where does the Oxygen we breathe come from?

• From chlorophyll

• From the Krebs cycle in mitochondria

• From water used in the photolysis reaction

• From water in respiration reactions

Reorder

Reorder the following stages of the light dependent processes in photosynthesis

• Sunlight strikes the chlorophyll in the thylakoid membranes

• Light energy is used to split water into oxygen, protons and electrons

• The electrons pass from the chlorophyll to an electron transport chain

• The energy lost by electrons as they pass through the electron transport chain is used to make ATP

• NADP+ molecules are converted to NADPH as they carry electrons to the stroma of the chloroplast for the light independent reaction
