Questions and Answers

What is the role of plants in the process of photosynthesis?

Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce carbon-containing sugars and carbohydrates.

What are the two types of reactions involved in photosynthesis?

The two types of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions.

Where do the light-independent reactions take place?

The light-independent reactions take place in the stroma of the chloroplast, outside the thylakoids.

How do the light-dependent and light-independent reactions work together?

<p>The light-dependent reactions capture the energy of sunlight and generate ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the light-independent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into high-energy sugars.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Flashcards

Plant role in photosynthesis

Plants take in carbon dioxide and make sugars.

Photosynthesis reaction types

Photosynthesis has light-dependent and light-independent reactions.

Light-independent location

Light-independent reactions happen in the stroma of chloroplasts.

Light reactions' energy role

Light reactions produce energy (ATP & NADPH) used by light-independent reactions to power sugar creation.

Study Notes

Photosynthesis

  • Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce carbon-containing sugars and other carbohydrates through photosynthesis.

Light-Independent Reactions

  • Occur outside the thylakoids, in the stroma of the chloroplast.
  • Use ATP and NADPH molecules produced in the light-dependent reactions to build high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide.
  • Do not require light to operate.

Photosynthetic Process

  • Combines light-dependent and light-independent reactions to capture sunlight energy and convert it into energy-rich compounds like carbohydrates.
