Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the roles of ATP and NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP and NADPH are forms of chemical energy produced from the light dependent reactions to be used in the light independent reactions that produce sugars.

Front

What is the overall outcome of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH and ATP molecules are produced during the light-dependent reactions and are used to power the light-independent reactions.

Front

What will happen to a plant leaf that loses CO2 too quickly?

Back

Photosynthesis in the leaf will slow down or possibly stop.

Front

How does the photosynthesis equation relate to both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis utilizes energy to build carbohydrates, while cellular respiration metabolizes carbohydrates.

Front

In which compartment of the plant cell do the light-independent (Calvin Cycle) reactions of photosynthesis take place?

Back

Stroma

Front

Two major products of photosynthesis are _______ and ________.

Back

Sugars/Carbohydrates and oxygen

Front

If a plant were to be exposed to only red light, would photosynthesis be possible?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis decreases drastically.
