Front

What color lightbulbs should be used to enhance photosynthesis?

Back

Red and blue lightbulbs are most effective for photosynthesis.

Front

What process should be eliminated to make photosynthesis more efficient?

Back

Photorespiration should be eliminated to enhance photosynthesis efficiency.

Front

Where is rubisco located in a cell?

Back

Rubisco is located in the stroma of the chloroplast.

Front

What links photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Chemiosmosis links photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosystem II?

Back

Chlorophyll in photosystem II acts as a powerful oxidizing agent, capable of oxidizing water to oxygen gas.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of ATP synthase in photosynthesis?

Back

ATP synthase synthesizes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate using the proton gradient created during the light-dependent reactions.

Front

What is the significance of the proton gradient in photosynthesis?

Back

The proton gradient is essential for ATP production during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
