1)light-independent reactions
2) Dark reaction

Question 2

What is part 2 of photosynthesis called ?

Answer 2

The Calvin Cycle

Question 3

What was released as a by-product through the stomata (pores) of the leaf ( because of the light dependent reaction)

Answer 3

O2 gas

Question 4

The energy ___ & ____ are now used to power the light independent reaction

Answer 4

ATP & NADPH

Question 5

Does the Calvin cycle need light ? Why?

Answer 5

No ,because energy from the sun has already been captured in NADPH & ATP

Question 6

Answer 6

In the stroma

Question 7

Answer 7

CO2, ATP,and NADPH

Question 8

Answer 8

ADP, NADPH+,and glucose

Question 9

Energy taken out of NADPH and ATP and combined with CO2 and H+ forming

Answer 9

C6, H12, O6

Question 10

What came be converted by cells into lipids, proteins , nucleic acids , etc

Answer 10

Glocose

Question 11

What are the 3 factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 11

1) amount of reactants (water and CO2)

2) Temperature ( too high or low denatured enzymes )

3) intensity of light

Question 12

What is the photosynthesis equation (word and symbol )

Answer 12

Word equation :
Carbon dioxide + water —light and chlorophyll — glucose + oxygen

Symbol :
6CO2 + 6H2O — light and chlorophyll — C6 H12 O6+ 6O2
