Unit 3 Biology Photosynthesis quiz

Photosynthesis is the process

• by which plants capture light energy and use it to produce their own organic compounds.

• by which bacteria capture glucose and use it to produce energy

• by which animals produce energy

• that only occurs in prokaryotic organisms.

Photosynthesis occurs in

• mitochondria

• ribosomes

• The golgi apparatus

• chloroplasts.

The light-dependent stage of photosynthesis occurs in the

• cristae

• thylakoid membrane

• stroma.

• chlorophyll.

The light-independent stage occurs in the

• cristae

• thylakoid membranes.

• stroma.

• chlorophyll.

In periods of high light intensity the rate of photosynthesis will

• . increase indefinitely.

• increase until another factor such as carbon dioxide becomes limiting.

• decrease indefinitely

• decrease until another factor such as carbon dioxide becomes limiting

Green plants have an abundance of chlorophyll and absorb light energy at the highest from the wavelengths of

• green light.

• violet-blue light.

• green-yellow light.

• orange-red light.

ATP is produced during the light-dependent stage. What is this ATP used for?

• it is a waste product and is not used for anything.

• to split water

• to provide the energy required for the light-independent stage

• to absorb the light energy required for photosynthesis

A major product of photosynthesis is

• carbon dioxide.

• ATP.

• NADPH.

• glucose

At what stage of photosynthesis is oxygen released as a by-product?

• The light-independent stage.

• The light-dependent stage.

• During the Calvin cycle

• During the Krebs cycle.

Where is Rubisco found in a cell.
