|
What is the first stage of photosynthesis
|
Light-dependent stage
(Light reaction) |
What is the main condition for photosynthesis to take place?
|
|
|
What is the function of the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis?
|
To make reduced NADP (NADPH) and to transfer light energy to ATP
|
|
|
|
What does light energy from the sun do to chlorophyll?
|
Causes electrons to be emitted that go on to help make ATP and reduced NADP
|
|
|
|
What happens to water?
|
Splits to produce electrons, H+ and oxygen is produced as a waste product.
|
|
|
|
What is the second stage of photosynthesis?
|
Light-independent stage (Calvin cycle)
|
|
|
|
What is the function of the Calvin cycle?
|
To fix CO2, produce triose phosphate (the building block from which other organic molecules are made) and regenerate RuBP for the start of the cycle
|
|
|
|
How much light energy is required to drive the Calvin cycle?
|
None - it requires the products of the light-dependent stage but no further input of light energy is required
|
|
|
|
Where does photosynthesis take place in green plants?
|
Inside chloroplasts
|
|
|
|
Where does the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis take place?
|
In the membranes inside the chloroplast called thylakoids
|
|
|
|
Where does the Calvin cycle take place?
|
In the stroma of the chloroplast
