a.) Photosynthesis produces
b.) Many of our foods and medications come from
a.) Understanding photosynthesis is paramount because it is the process plants use to make their own
b.) Plants get to make their own
A pigment that plants commonly use to capture light in photosynthesis is
There are two major reactions that occur in the chloroplast during photosynthesis - the
a.) In the light-dependent reactions, light is captured and water is "split", producing
b.) The light-dependent reactions produce
In the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle), carbon dioxide enters through pores called
During
Photosynthesis converts sunlight, carbon dioxide, and
a.) There are two types of reactions in photosynthesis -
b.) The light-independent reactions are also known as the
In vascular plants, roots absorb water and bring it to the leaves through tissues called
Carbon dioxide enters and oxygen exits the plant through tiny pores in the leaves called
Individual photons from the Sun are absorbed in the plant by a pigment called
The most important plastid in plant cells is the
a.) The chlorophyll is stashed in membranous sacs called
b.) The thylakoids are stacked into
The first stage of photosynthesis is called
When a photon hits chlorophyll, an electron absorbs the energy and becomes excited in a process called
Two important products created in the light-dependent reactions are
The Calvin cycle converts the energy from ATP and NADPH into something useful through carbon fixation involving the enzyme
The first stable products of the Calvin cycle are
One of the ultimate products of photosynthesis that plants can convert into carbohydrates like glucose is
