Front

What is the series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions?

Back

Electron transport chains

Front

What set of reactions in photosynthesis uses energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH?

Back

Light-dependent reactions

Front

What is the process used by plants to capture light energy and convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What set of reactions in photosynthesis does not require light and uses energy from ATP and NADPH to build high-energy compounds?

Back

Light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle)

Front

Where does the oxygen gas we breathe come from during photosynthesis?

Back

The splitting of water during the light reaction.

Front

What is the main pigment involved in photosynthesis that absorbs light energy?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and Light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle)

Front

What is the role of ATP in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP provides energy for the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle).

Front

What is the role of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH provides reducing power for the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle).

Front

What is the Calvin Cycle?

Back

A set of light-independent reactions that convert carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH.
