FINALS CHAPTER 9: PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question 1

What organelle is involved in the process of photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Chloroplasts

Question 2

What are the two parts of the chloroplast?

Answer 2

Thylakoid
Stroma

Question 3

What are the thylakoids? What structures do they form?

Answer 3

Sacklike membranes containing chlorophyll and other pigments
Stacks called grana

Question 4

What is the stroma?

Answer 4

The jelly-like substance that fills the spaces between grana within the chloroplast

Question 5

What stage of photosynthesis occurs in the thylakoid?

Answer 5

Light-dependent

Question 6

What stage of photosynthesis occurs in the stroma?

Answer 6

Light-independent

Question 7

What pigment is involved in photosynthesis?

Answer 7

Chlorophyll

Question 8

What products connect the light-dependent and light-independent reactions?

Answer 8

ATP and NADPH

Question 9

How to ATP and NADPH travel through the light-dependent and light-independent reactions?

Answer 9

ATP and NADPH are created during the light-dependent reactions, then are used in the light-independent reactions to produce sugars before being returned to the light-dependent reactions as ADP and NADP+ to be recharged and used again

Question 10

What are the reactants and products of photosynthesis?

Answer 10

Reactants - Carbon dioxide + Water
Products - Sugars + Oxygen

Question 11

What is the balanced equation of photosynthesis?

Answer 11

6CO2 + 6H2O —light–> C6H12O6 + 6O2
