Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the process called when respiration occurs with oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration.

Front

What is the main role of fermentation?

Back

Converts glucose into pyruvate and NADH.

Front

What does the Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reaction) produce?

Back

Front

Which substance from the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is a source of energy for the light-independent reactions?

Back

NADPH.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

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 of photosynthesis occur?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back
