Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration

Front

What is the source of energy for photosynthesis?

Back

Light (radiant energy)

Front

Which organelle in the plant cell performs photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

What process occurs when light energy is captured in autotrophs and converted into sugar?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar

Front

What factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll

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 take place?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

ATP, NADPH, and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis?

Back

It is a reactant that is fixed into organic molecules during the Calvin cycle.
