Q

Light Dependent reactions

A

1- Happens in Thylakoids/chloroplast
2- Form high energy bond in ATP
3-Store high energy electrons as NADPH

Q

Calvin Cycle

A

1-Happens in the stroma/Chroloplast
2-Uses ATP and NADPH which are provided by light-dependent reactions
3- Convert CO2 to sugar
4- happens only if light reactions produce ATP and NADPH

Q

What do the monosaccharides Glucose and fructose from

A

Disaccharides like sucrose

16
Q

Polysacchardies

A

Long chains of monosaccharides joined together

17
Q

2 type of polysaccharides in plants

A

1-Starch- For storage of extra sugar
2-Cellulose- For structure in the cell walls

18
Q

One type of polysaccharide in mammals like humans

A

Glycogen- Storage of extra sugar we eat
