3 Questions
Explain the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll absorbs light energy and initiates the process of photosynthesis by converting it into chemical energy.
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What are the two stages of photosynthesis and briefly describe their main functions?
The two stages are light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. In the light-independent reactions, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
Test your knowledge of photosynthesis by identifying the chemical equation, understanding the role of chlorophyll, and describing the two stages and their functions.
