Photosynthesis

Question 1

Step 1

Answer 1

• Sunlight absorbed by the thylakoids in the chloroplasts
• Carbon Dioxide enters the leaves
• Water enters the leaves from the roots

Question 2

Step 2

Answer 2

• Thylakoids break apart H”2O
• O”2 is released as a waste product
• H is carried by the NADP+ molecule (becomes NADPH) to be carried to the Calvin Cycle

Question 3

Step 3

Answer 3

• Light energy from the sun is stored in ATP and is passed to the Calvin Cycle

Question 4

Step 4

Answer 4

• Carbon Dioxide combined with the hydrogen from NADPH to form glucose
• Energy from ATP is used to form the bonds in glucose
• Glucose is stored in the leaves of the plant
