Photosynthesis

Question 1

Where does the light dependent reaction occur?

Answer 1

Thylakoid membrane

Question 2

Products of light dependent reaction?

Answer 2

ATP and reduced NADP

Question 3

How is NADP reduced in the light dependent reaction?

Answer 3

By the electrons in the electron transfer chain

Question 4

What is the movement of protons in the light dependent reaction?

Answer 4

Proton pump actively transports protons into thylakoid space through ATP synthase channels

Question 5

What does photolysis of water produce?

Answer 5

Protons, oxygen and electrons

Question 6

Where does the light independent reaction occur?

Answer 6

Stroma of chloroplasts

Question 7

Co2 reacts with RuBP to form?

Answer 7

2 molecules of GP, catalysed by rubisco

Question 8

How are ATP and reduced NADP from the light dependent reaction used in the light independent reaction?

Answer 8

They reduce GP to TP

Question 9

What is the TP in the light independent reaction used for?

Answer 9

To regenerate RuBP and converted to useful organic sugars
