Practice Flashcard - ATP & Photosynthesis

Front

What is the main product of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6)

Front

Which molecule is often compared to a battery in need of recharging?

Back

ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate)

Front

How is energy released from ATP?

Back

Energy is released when a phosphate group is removed from ATP.

Front

What pigment in chloroplasts absorbs red and blue light?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide + Water → Oxygen + Glucose

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the function of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The Calvin Cycle uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back

ATP has three phosphate groups, while ADP has two phosphate groups.

Front

What is the significance of light in photosynthesis?

Back

Light provides the energy needed to drive the reactions of photosynthesis.
