T or F: the light-dependent reaction releases ATP

A

True

19
Q

T or F: the oxygen released during photosynthesis comes from CO2

A

False

20

T or F: the two photosystems are located in the thylakoid membrane

A

True

22
Q

T or F: the thylakoid lumen becomes alkali during chemiosmosis

A

False

23
Q

the light-independent reaction uses the products ____ and____ from LDR

A

ATP and NADPH

24
Q

LIR is also known as the ______

A

Calvin cycle

25
Q

what does the Calvin cycle form?

A

glucose

26
Q

what are the three stages of the Calvin cycle?

A
  • fixation
  • reduction
  • regeneration
27
Q

what happens during fixation?

A

CO2 is attached to RuBP

28
Q

what enzyme attached RuBP to CO2?

A

RUBISCO

29
Q

what happens in the stage of reduction?

A

phosphorylation and the reduction of the fixed molecules

30
Q

what happens during regeneration?

A

phosphorylation that results in the formation of the CO2 acceptor (RuBP I think)

31
