Photosynthesis AP Biology

Plants use the following reactants for the light reaction

• Water and CO2

• Water and NADPH

• Water and NADP+

• NADPH and ATP

Photosynthesis goal is to

• convert light energy into glucose energy

• use light energy to make oxygen gas

• convert sugar energy into ATP

• convert sugar energy into oxygen gas

Rubisco is important in which step of photosynthesis

• energizing the electrons in chlorophyll

• carbon fixation when CO2 is connected to RUBP during calvin cycle

• regeneration phase as RUBP is made during calvin cycle

• reduction of the carbon chain during the calvin cycle

If the proton (H+) pump in the thylakoid was not working which molecule could not be made during the light reaction?

• NADPH

• ATP

• Water

• Oxygen gas
