2. Science Photosynthesis

The process wherein the plant cell produces glucose from carbon dioxide and water by using light energy from the sun.

• Photosynthesis
• Cytoplasm

It provides energy

• ATP
• NADPH

It provides electrons and hydrogens needed to build sugar.

• NADPH
• ATP

Solar energy is converted to chemical energy: ATP, NADPH

• Light-Dependent Reaction
• Light-Independent Reaction

Chemical energy: ATP, NADPH is converted to G3P

• Light-Independent Reaction
• Light-Dependent Reaction

The first step of of photosynthesis.

• Light-dependent reaction
• Light-independent reaction

The green pigment molecules of the plant which capture sunlight.

• Chlorophyll
• ATP

The electron transport chain is made up of membrane _____ found in the thylakoid.

• protein
• oxygen

The final product of photolysis

• acetyl CoA (acetyl coenzyme A)
• Carbon Dioxide

The _____ produced from the light-dependent reaction power the second part of photosynthesis through the transfer of electrons.

• ATP and NADPH
• CO₂ and O
