2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Where do the light reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

The light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for the light reactions of photosynthesis.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is photolysis?

Back

Photolysis is the process of splitting water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons using light energy during the light reactions of photosynthesis.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the function of ATP synthase in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP synthase is an enzyme that synthesizes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate during the light reactions, using the energy from the proton gradient.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the products of the light reactions?

Back

The products of the light reactions are ATP, NADPH, and oxygen.
