What is the enzyme that fixes carbon from the atmosphere to convert it to glucose?

Back

RuBisCo (Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase).

Front

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast.

Front

What is the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Front

Where do light-dependent reactions take place in a plant cell?

Back

Thylakoid membrane.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the role of ATP in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP provides energy for the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the function of RuBP in photosynthesis?

Back

RuBP (Ribulose bisphosphate) is a 5-carbon sugar that combines with CO₂ to initiate the Calvin cycle.
