Photosynthesis process

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

• To produce carbon dioxide and water

• To convert light energy into chemical energy

• To break down glucose for energy

• To release nitrogen into the atmosphere

Where does the light-dependent reaction take place?

• In the stroma

• In the mitochondria

• In the thylakoid membrane

• In the cytoplasm

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

• Hemoglobin

• Keratin

• Myoglobin

• Chlorophyll

What is produced in the light-dependent reactions?

• Oxygen, ATP, and NADPH

• Glucose and ATP

• Carbon dioxide and water

• Pyruvate and NADH

What is the main product of the Calvin cycle?

• Oxygen
  

• Glucose

• ATP

• NADPH

Why is ATP important in photosynthesis?

• It provides energy for the Calvin cycle

• It transports oxygen

• It breaks down glucose

• It absorbs light energy

The Calvin cycle occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.

• True
