Answer 2

Chlorophyll

Question 3

Carbon dioxide enters the plant through small openings in leaves called _______

Answer 3

Stomata

Question 4

The two main stages of photosynthesis are…

Answer 4

The light reaction and the Calvin cycle

Question 5

What is released as a byproduct during photosynthesis

Answer 5

Oxygen

Question 6

What is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis

Answer 6

Sunlight

Question 7

What gas is absorbed and used by plants during photosynthesis

Answer 7

Carbon dioxide

Question 8

What substance is produced as a result of photosynthesis

Answer 8

Glucose

Question 9

In which part of the plant does photosynthesis mainly take place

Answer 9

Leaves

Question 10

What is the primary pigment involved in the process of photosynthesis

Answer 10

Chlorophyll

Question 11

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis

Answer 11

It absorbs sunlight

Question 12

During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide enters the plant through which structure

Answer 12

Stomata

Question 13

Byproduct of photosynthesis

Answer 13

Oxygen

Question 14

What is the main purpose of the light reactions in photosynthesis

Answer 14

To generate atp and NADPH

Question 15

Explain why photosynthesis is important for the ecosystem

Answer 15

It produces oxygen, and provides food in the form of glucose for plants, which serve as the base of food chains

Question 16

Describe the process of the light rxns in photosynthesis

Answer 16

Occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chlorplasts where sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll, leading to the production of atp and nadph and the release of oxygen as a by product

Question 17

How might plants adapt to different light conditions to maximize photosynthesis

Answer 17

Plants can adapt to different light conditions by altering the size and number of their leaves, the concentration of chlorophyll, and adjusting their orientation to capture maximum sunlight for photosynthesis

Question 18

What is taken in by the Calvin cycle and what is produced

Answer 18

CO2 is taken in and sugar is produced

Question 19

Sugar formula

Answer 19

C6H12O6

Question 20

What is taken in by the light rxns

Answer 20

Water and sunlight

Question 21

What is produced by the light rxn

Answer 21

Oxygen

Question 22

What travels from the light rxn to the Calvin cycle

Answer 22

ADP & NADPH+

Question 23

What travels from the Calvin cycle to the light rxn

Answer 23

ATP & NADPH
