What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?
Back
The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Where do light-dependent reactions occur?
Back
Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?
Back
During the light-dependent reactions, ATP and NADPH are produced, along with oxygen as a byproduct.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the Calvin cycle?
Back
The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts, where carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose using ATP and NADPH.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What molecule does carbon dioxide combine with in the Calvin cycle?
Back
In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide combines with RuBP (ribulose bisphosphate) to form 3-PGA.
