Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the products of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

ATP, NADPH, and oxygen.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin cycle?

Back

It uses ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions to convert CO2 into glucose.
