BIOL 1201 EXAMS: LATEST A+ GUIDE WITH ESSENTIAL
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + Water --> Glucose + Oxygen
Explain how light energy affects of chlorophyll molecule.
Chlorophyll - green pigment that absorbs light energy and is located in chloroplast.
Chloroplasts' mebranes are where photosynthesis occurs.
If a plant is kept under green color light for an extended period of time, what will happen to
the plants food production?
It would stop because all of the green light would be reflected off, not allowing photosynthesis
to occur.
A plant that has a high amount of the orange pigment carotene would have leave of what
color? Explain.
Orange because leave appear to be the color of whatever pigment they contain the most of.

Thylakoid
The light-independent reactions are also known as the ________.
Calvin cycle
The energy carriers ______ and ______ are produced during the light-dependent reactions.
ATP and NADPH
In light dependent reactions the gas _____ is produced.
O2
