  • Plants capture light energy from the sun and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into food. This process is known as ______.
    photosynthesis
  • What is the name of the enzyme that helps the production of ATP during chemiosmosis?
    ATP synthase
  • What is the name of the enzyme that fixates CO2 to RuBP?
    Rubisco
  • Which group of reactions is responsible for the synthesis in photosynthesis?
    light-independent reaction
  • How much carbon dioxide is needed to make one molecule glucose?
    6 molecules of CO2
  • Where does photolysis occur in the chloroplast?
    lumen of thylakoid
  • During photosynthesis, producers convert energy from the sun into __________.
    Chemical energy
  • Where does light-dependent reaction occur in the chloroplast?
    thylakoid membrane
  • Which group of reactions is responsible for the photo in photosynthesis?
    light-dependent reaction
  • When a photon of light energy reaches a reaction center chlorophyll molecule, what becomes excited?
    an electron
  • Which plant cells that contain a large number of chloroplasts?
    spongy mesophyll and palisade mesophyll
  • Where does CO2 (carbon dioxide) enter a leaf?
    Through a stoma
  • Which is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis?
    Oxygen
  • What reactions occur in the light-dependent stage?
    cyclic photophosphorylation, non-cyclic photophosphorylation and photolysis
  • What is the main pigment in green plants?
    Chlorophyll
  • Where does light-independent occur in the chloroplast?
    stroma
  • Two products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis are ______.
    ATP and NADPH

    Calvin Cycle
  • In addition to sunlight, what else is required for photosynthesis to take place?
    carbon dioxide and water
