Photosynthesis Quiz

Photosynthesis is defined as...

• The process that most plants and some other organisms use to synthesize food.

• The process that most plants and some other organisms use to synthesize CO₂.

• The process that most plants and some other organisms use to make Eddie the Electron super happy in his Thylakoid.

• The process that most animals and bacteria use to synthesize food and breathe.

The Light Dependent Reactions occur in the________ and the Light Independent Reactions occur in the ________.

• Chloroplast; Stroma

• Thylakoid; Stroma

• Stroma; Thylakoid

• Thylakoid; Chloroplast

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight. What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

• Sunlight is the energy used to create glucose molecules.

• Sunlight breaks water into two hydrogen ions and one oxygen molecule.

• Sunlight excites electrons and takes them from a low energy level to a high energy level.

• Sunlight powers the movement of NADPH into the stroma.
