Front

What is the goal of photosynthesis?

Back

The goal of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into glucose energy.

Front

What role does Rubisco play in photosynthesis?

Back

Rubisco is important for carbon fixation when CO2 is connected to RUBP during the Calvin cycle.

Front

What molecule cannot be made if the proton (H+) pump in the thylakoid is not working?

Back

ATP cannot be made during the light reaction.

Front

What is FALSE about the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle does not produce carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis.

Front

What is produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

ATP and NADPH are produced during the light reactions.

Front

What is the function of NADPH in photosynthesis?

Back

NADPH provides the reducing power for the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the significance of the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is significant because it converts CO2 into glucose.
