Light-Dependent
These complexes harness light energy & play a key role in the light reactions.
What are photosystems.
What is another name for Calvin Cycle?
The light-independent reaction or Phase 2
The two products of photosynthesis are...
What are glucose and oxygen?
The structure where the light dependent reactions takes place in the chloroplast of the plant.
What is the thylakoid?
The two stages of photosynthesis.
What are the Light-dependent reaction & Carbon fixation reaction?
The two natural reactants that are used during light-dependent reactions.
What are sunlight and water?
The three reactants of the Calvin cycle.
What are ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide?
The molecules to be used by the Calvin cycle that are made in the light-dependent reaction
What are ATP and NADPH?
Which structure of the plant does photosynthesis takes place?
The chloroplast of the plant.
Which stage in photosynthesis occurs first?
Light-dependent reaction
Which gas is removed from the atmosphere for photosynthesis?
What is carbon dioxide?
What does the Calvin cycle use ATP and NADPH for?
The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH for energy.
Which product of photosynthesis is not used by the plant?
What is oxygen?
DAILY DOUBLE!!! Is a plant a prokaryotic or a eukaryotic organism? Explain your reasoning.
A plant is eukaryotic organism because it had membrane bound organelles, such as the chloroplast. Prokaryotic organisms do not have organelles.
During what stage of photosynthesis is glucose made?
It is made during the Calvin cycle (Phase 2).
In the light-dependent reactions, which structure absorbs the sunlight?
The chlorophyll in the thylakoids, capture the sunlight.
The end product for the Calvin cycle
What is glucose (sugar)?
Ribulose phosphate is phosphorylated by ATP to produce...
What is RuBP?
In general, is a plant a heterotrophic or an autotrophic organism?
Plants are autotrophic organisms because they can synthesize their own food.
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Chlorophyll absorbs a higher percentage of what two colors of light?
What is RED and BLUE?
The four main steps of the Calvin cycle.
What are Step 1 - Carbon fixation Step 2 - Reduction phase Step 3 - Carbohydrate formation Step 4 - Regeneration phase?
What are the products of the light-dependent reactions?
What are ATP and NADPH?
In what area of the chloroplast does the Calvin cycle takes place?
The stroma of the chloroplast.
What are the three phases of the Calvin cycle?
What is:
1. CO2 uptake
2.Carbon reduction
3.RuBP regeneration
