What is photosynthesis?

What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis:

• is the process used by plants to turn the energy from the sun into glucose

• Glucose is a carbohydrate

Multiple Choice

Glucose is a

• protein

• nucleic acid

• carbohydrate

• lipid

Photosynthesis:

• occurs in the chloroplasts of leaves

• Thylakoids are flat sacks inside the chloroplast

• The Stroma is the liquid that surrounds the thylakoids

• A stack of thylakoids is called a granum

Multiple Choice

Photosynthesis occurs in the

• stroma

• chloroplast

• thylakoids

• mitochondria

Multiple Choice

A stack of thylakoids is called a

• granum

• stroma

• chloroplast

• stack

The reactants or ingredients for photosynthesis are

• 6 molecules of water

• 6 molecules of carbon dioxide

• Sunlight

• 
  

The products of photosynthesis are:

• Glucose

• 6 molecules of oxygen

• 
  

Multiple Select

The products of photosynthesis are:

• water

• glucose

• oxygen

• carbon dioxide

• sunlight

The complete formula for photosynthesis is:

• 6 H₂O + 6 CO₂ + sunlight --> 6 O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

• 
  

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages:

• The Light Dependent Reactions

• The Light Independent Reactions of the Calvin Cycle

The Light Dependent Reactions:

• occurs in the thylakoids

• Uses Sunlight and water

• Produces Oxygen and ATP

The Light Independent Reactions / The Calvin Cycle:

• occurs in the stroma

• Uses carbojn dioxide and ATP

• Produces Glucose

Multiple Select

The reactant(s) of the Calvin Cycle:

• water

• carbon dioxide

• oxygen

• sunlight

Multiple Choice

The light dependent reactions occur in the

• thylakoid

• stroma

Multiple Choice

Photosynthesis occurs in

• one stage

• two stages

• three stages

Multiple Choice

You can perform photosynthesis.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

The ultimate source of all energy on the Earth is the sun.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

The reaction that does not use light is called

• the light dependent reactions

• the Calvin Cycle
