Light dependent reactions of phtosynthesis

Front

What are the products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

ATP, NADPH, and Oxygen are the products; Glucose is not.

Front

In which type of cell does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in plant cells.

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions take place?

Back

The light reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane.

Front

What is the role of ATP synthase in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP synthase creates ATP from ADP.

Front

What is the stroma in a chloroplast?

Back

The stroma is the area outside of the granums in the chloroplast.

Front

What is the main function of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH provides reducing power for the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the significance of oxygen production in light-dependent reactions?

Back

Oxygen is a byproduct of water splitting during the light reactions.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths.

Front

What is photolysis in the context of photosynthesis?

Back

Photolysis is the process of splitting water molecules using light energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages are light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
