Front

Where do the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

Thylakoid, thylakoid membrane

Front

What is the structure that is the site of protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosome

Front

What is a byproduct (waste product) of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen

Front

What is the term for the property that each enzyme only has 1 substrate that will fit its active site?

Back

Specificity

Front

What can be concluded from a graph showing enzyme activity at different pH levels?

Back

The optimum pH of the enzyme is 6.6.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of 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 chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating messenger RNA.
