What happens to GP in the Calvin cycle?

It is reduced to TP using ATP and NADPH

What is the fate of most TP molecules?

Regenerate RuBP

What is photolysis?

Splitting of water using light energy

Which molecule accepts electrons at the end of the electron transport chain?

NADP

What is the role of ATP in photosynthesis?

Provides energy for the Calvin cycle

What happens to TP to form glucose?

Two TP molecules combine to form one hexose sugar

What enzyme catalyses carbon fixation in the Calvin cycle?

RuBisCO

What are the three limiting factors of photosynthesis?

Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature

Where does the Calvin cycle take place?

Stroma

Which pigment is primarily responsible for absorbing light energy?,

Chlorophyll a

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?,

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

What are the products of the light-dependent reactions?

ATP, reduced NADP (NADPH), and oxygen

What is the source of oxygen released during photosynthesis?

Photolysis

What is the role of reduced NADP (NADPH)?

Provides hydrogen/reducing power in the Calvin cycle

What molecule is formed when CO₂ combines with RuBP?

GP (glycerate-3-phosphate)

What effect does increasing light intensity have on photosynthesis?

Rate increases until another factor becomes limiting

What is the source of electrons in the light-dependent reactions?

Photolysis of water

What is the role of RuBP in photosynthesis?

CO₂ acceptor in the Calvin cycle

What is the fate of some TP molecules?

Used to form glucose and other organic molecules

In which organelle does photosynthesis occur?,

Chloroplast
