What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants
use energy
from sunlight to
make their own food.
View source
Where does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?
Photosynthesis takes place
inside
the
chloroplasts
of plant cells.
View source
What is the summary equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide
+
water
+
light energy
→
sugar
+
oxygen.
View source
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
Stage 1:
Light
reactions
Stage 2:
Carbon
fixation
View source
What happens during the light reactions of photosynthesis?
Light energy
from the sun is trapped by
chlorophyll
in the
chloroplasts.
View source
What is one of the products generated from the light reactions?
ATP
is generated from the
light
reactions.
View source
What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll traps
light
energy
from the
sun.
View source
What happens to water during the light reactions?
Water is split into
hydrogen
and
oxygen.
View source
What happens to oxygen produced during photosynthesis?
Oxygen diffuses
from the
cell.
View source
What is combined during the carbon fixation stage of photosynthesis?
The
ATP
,
hydrogen
, and
carbon dioxide
are combined to produce
sugar.
View source
What type of reactions occur during the
carbon
fixation
stage
?
Carbon fixation involves
a
series of enzyme-controlled reactions.
View source
What is produced as a result of the carbon fixation stage?
Sugar
is produced during the
carbon fixation
stage.
