Photosynthesis Quiz

Where do the reactions of photosynthesis occur in a plant cell?

• Cell membrane

• Nucleus

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondria

What is the byproduct of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

• Oxygen

• Water

• Glucose

• Carbon dioxide

Which part of the chloroplast do the light reactions occur in?

• Matrix

• Thylakoid

• Granum

• Stroma

What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle reactions in photosynthesis?

• Produce ATP

• Split water molecules

• Produce NADPH

• Turn carbon dioxide into carbohydrates

What is the chemical formula for the photosynthetic reactions?

• 1 glucose molecule + 6 oxygen molecules = Solar energy + 6 carbon dioxide molecules + 6 water molecules

• Solar energy + 6 carbon dioxide molecules + 6 water molecules = 1 glucose molecule + 6 oxygen molecules

• 6 carbon dioxide molecules + 6 water molecules = Solar energy + 1 glucose molecule + 6 oxygen molecules

• 6 carbon dioxide molecules + Solar energy + 6 water molecules = 1 glucose molecule + 6 oxygen molecules

What is the byproduct of the Calvin cycle reactions in photosynthesis?

• Oxygen

• Water

• Carbon dioxide

• Glucose

What are the high energy electrons ultimately used to produce in the light reactions?

• Carbon dioxide

• Glucose

• ATP and NADPH

• Oxygen gas

Where are the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis also known as?

• Stroma reactions

• Dark reactions

• Light reactions

• Thylakoid reactions
