Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis is a process used by plants to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
- The process requires carbon dioxide, water and light energy.
- Photosynthesis involves two main stages: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).
- Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and involve the absorption of light energy by chlorophyll and other pigments to produce ATP and NADPH.
- Light-independent reactions occur in the stroma of chloroplasts and involve the use of ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
- The rate of photosynthesis is affected by factors such as light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature.
- Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) can be used to assess understanding of photosynthesis.
- The questions are designed to test understanding of different aspects of photosynthesis.
