Grade A+
• Equation for Photosynthesis in Words -✓✓water + carbon Dioxide +
light energy --> glucose + oxygen
• Equation for Photosynthesis -✓✓6H2O + 6CO2 + light energy -->
C6H12O6 + 6O2
• Water enters plants through? -✓✓their roots
• Carbon Dioxide enters plants through? -✓✓pores in the leaf called
stomata
• Photosynthesis occurs in? -✓✓chloroplast
• Structure of a chloroplast -✓✓stroma, thylakoid membrane, grana,
inner and outer membrane
• Chlorophyll molecules are embedded in the? -✓✓inner thylakoid
membrane
• The primary function of plant pigments is? -✓✓to absorb solar energy
,• What happens in light dependent reactions? -✓✓Energy from sunlight
is absorbed and converted into chemical energy (ATP)
• Where do light dependent reactions take place? -✓✓thylakoid
membranes of chloroplasts
• What is a light independent reaction called? -✓✓Calvin Cycle
• What happens in light independent reactions (Calvin Cycle)? -✓✓Uses
CO2 and the ATP and NADPH from light dependent reactions to
produce sugar/glucose.
• In the Calvin Cycle, ATP is used to? -✓✓provide the energy for sugar
synthesis
• In the Calvin Cycle, NADPH is used for? -✓✓electrons in the
reduction of carbon dioxide into sugar
• Where do light independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) occur? -✓✓the
area in the chloroplast called the stroma
• Leaves are green because? -✓✓chlorophyll molecules absorb violet-
blue and red light, but reflect or transmit green-yellow light
, • Process of light dependent reactions -✓✓chlorophyll absorbs solar
energy and ejects an electron, which is passed down an electron chain,
and water is split, releasing O2
• Requirements for light dependent reactions -✓✓H2O, ADP, and
NADP+
• Products for light-dependent reactions -✓✓O2 and the energy-storing
compounds ATP and NADH
• Requirements for light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) -✓✓ATP,
NADPH, CO2, a five-carbon sugar called RuBP, and the enzyme
rubisco
• Products for light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) -
✓✓Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), which can be used to make
glucose
• Carbon dioxide is fixed during? -✓✓The Calvin Cycle
• How is C4 photosynthesis different from C3 photosynthesis? -✓✓C3
photosynthesis produces a three-carbon compound via the Calvin Cycle
while C4 photosynthesis makes an intermediate four-carbon compound
that splits into a three-carbon compound for the Calvin Cycle
