Photosynthesis

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the primary function of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

To produce NADPH and ATP.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants needed for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis also known as?

Back

It is not known as the Calvin Cycle; it is known as the light-dependent reactions.

Front

What are the reactants needed for photosynthesis?

Back

Light, water, and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is essential for the light-dependent reactions.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions occur?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

NADPH, ATP, and oxygen.
