Photosynthesis and Chloroplasts Quiz

What are the two main components of photosynthesis?

• Light-dependent and light-independent reactions

• Photosynthesis and respiration

• Carbon fixation and oxygen release

• Chlorophyll and chloroplasts

Where do the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis occur?

• In the stroma

• In the thylakoid membranes

• In the grana

• In the lamellae

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?

• To protect the cell

• To transport nutrients

• To conduct photosynthesis

• To store energy

What is the space between the inner and outer membranes of a chloroplast called?

• Thylakoid

• Grana

• Lumen

• Stroma

What are stacks of thylakoids called?

• Lamellae

• Grana

• Stroma

• Lumen

What connects the grana in a chloroplast?

• Thylakoids

• Lumen

• Stroma

What is the role of pigments in photosystems?

• To absorb water

• To absorb light energy

• To transport electrons

• To release oxygen

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?
