What is glucose
A simple sugar
What is photosynthesis
The process by which plants use sunlight, water and carbon to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar
In which place does the Calvin Cycle take place
Stroma
What is a another name for the Krebs cycle
Citric acid cycle
what is the byproduct photosynthesis
Oxygen
What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis in autotrophs
like green plants
To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose
What is the primary goal/function of the Calvin Cycle
To convert carbon dioxide into sugar using chemical energy
Where inside the eukaryotic cell does Krebs cycle take place
mitochondrial matrix
What is chlorophyll
Is the natural green pigment found in plants
Which molecules are primary reactants
Carbon Doxide and Water
What two molecules produced by the light-dependent reactions serve as the energy and electron drivers to power the Calvin cycle
ATP and NADPH
Input to start the Krebs Cycle
Acetyl-CoA
What is the formula for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + Water + sunlight → Glucose + Oxygen
Which molecule does the released oxygen gas
Water
Where does the inorganic carbon enter the Calvin cycle to be transformed
From Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Why is it considered a cycle
Get used again
Where does the plant cell organelle take place
Chloroplast
Why is photosynthesis it important
Produces Oxygen we breathe
What happens during the first stage of the Calvin Cycle
Carbon dioxide is incorporated into an organic molecule
What is the byproduct
Carbon Dioxide
