,

• Carbon Dioxide

• Light

_ are the powerhouse of the plant cell

Where does photosynthesis take place at in a plant?

• On the pedals

• In the roots

• In the bark

• On the leaves

What are the primary colors that are absorbed by Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b (select all that apply)?

• Blues

• Greens

• Reds

• Yellows

What color light is completely unusable by chlorophyll a?

• Red
• Blue
• Yellow
• Green

Place the steps of the light dependent reaction in the proper order:

• Pigments absorb light

• Electrons are excited

• • Electrons move through electron transport chain and react with NADP+

Place the steps of the light independent (Calvin Cycle or Dark reaction) in the proper order:

• ATP and NADPH convert PGA to G3P

• 1. Leftovers go to recreate 5-carbon sugar

• Carbon dioxide bonded to 5-carbon sugar through Carbon Fixation

• Glucose is produced

• 1. PGA is produced

Which gas is a reactant necessary for the photosynthesis process?

• O2

• N2

• CO2

• Ar

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

• Absorbing water

• Absorbing sunlight

• Releasing oxygen

• Producing glucose
