Chloroplasts Flashcards
1
Q
what is photosynthesis?
A
Process that occurs in green plants (chloroplast) in which;
Sun light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen
2
Q
where does the light independent stage of photosynthesis occur?
A
stroma
3
Q
where does the light dependent stage of photosynthesis occur?
A
thykaloid
