Photosynthesis and Leaf Structures

Front

What is the role of the guard cell?

Back

The guard cell controls the movement of water vapor and gases in and out of the leaf.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is the second step in photosynthesis?

Back

The second step in photosynthesis is the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What pigment in chloroplasts performs photosynthesis?

Back

The pigment in chloroplasts that performs photosynthesis is Chlorophyll.

Front

What do light-dependent reactions provide to fuel the Calvin Cycle?

Back

Light-dependent reactions provide energy in the form of ATP to fuel the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the main function of chlorophyll?

Back

The main function of chlorophyll is to absorb 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 Calvin Cycle.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
