Photosynthesis

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the primary function of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

To produce NADPH and ATP.

Front

Which product is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of glucose in photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose serves as an energy source for plants and is a building block for growth.

Front

What are light-dependent reactions?

Back

Reactions that convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Front

What are light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle)?

Back

Reactions that use ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
