Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the main purpose of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

To convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is produced during the Calvin cycle?

Back
