Photosynthesis and ATP

Front

What is the source of energy for photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What molecule absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight during photosynthesis.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cell respiration related?

Back

The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cell respiration, and vice versa.

Front

What gas must enter the Calvin Cycle?

Back

Carbon Dioxide must enter the Calvin Cycle.

Front

Which organelle does photosynthesis take place in?

Back

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water provides electrons and protons for the light-dependent reactions of 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 (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is ATP and its role in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various processes, including the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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