Front

What is the main purpose of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of the light reactions is to provide the energy and electrons for the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the function of NADPH and ATP in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH and ATP serve as short-term energy carriers in the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the chloroplasts during photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose.

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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