Front

What is the primary source of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What are NADPH and ATP used for in photosynthesis?

Back

They are short-term energy carriers.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis?

Back

It is the stage where carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose.

Front

What are the products of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

Oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.

Front

How does carbon dioxide enter the plant for photosynthesis?

Back

Through small openings called stomata.
