Unit 1C Test Review: Photosynthesis

Front

What is the interior space of the chloroplast called?

Back

Stroma

Front

Which photosynthetic pigment reflects orange and red light?

Back

Carotene

Front

What are the products of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP, NADPH, and Oxygen

Front

What are the stacks of disks in the chloroplast called?

Back

Grana

Front

What are the parts of the ATP molecule?

Back

Adenine, ribose, phosphate groups

Front

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

To absorb light energy for the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What role does water play in the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

Water is split to provide electrons and protons, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What is the significance of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH is used as a reducing agent in the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Front

How do temperature and light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Increased temperature and light intensity generally increase the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain point, after which other factors may limit the process.
