Photosynthesis Packet
Light-Dependent Reactions
Overview:
1. What occurs in the process of photosynthesis? Solar energy from the sun is converted
into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
2. Write the overall equation for photosynthesis using words. Carbon Dioxide and Water
3. Write the overall equation for photosynthesis using chemical formulas. 6 CO2 + 6
H20 C6H1206 + 6 O2
4. Why does photosynthesis require in addition to water and carbon dioxide? Sunlight
6. What is the principal pigment of plants? Chlorophyll
7. Circle the letter of the region(s) of the visible spectrum in which chlorophyll absorbs
light very well.
a. blue region
b. green region
c. red region
d. yellow region
15. How does NADP+ become NADPH? Two electrons and a H+ are added.
Photosystems:
16. Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about the light-dependent reactions.
Correct the false statements.
a. They convert ADP into ATP.
b. They produce oxygen gas.
c. They convert oxygen into carbon dioxide. Convert water into oxygen.
d. They convert NADP+ into NADPH.
17. Where does the light-dependent reactions take place? Thylakoid membrane
18.Why is it important for water to split in the light-dependent reaction?To get H+ so that
NADPH can be made, e- are created, and to get H+ in a high concentration to male
ATP.
19. Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about the light-dependent reactions.
Correct the false statements.
a. High-energy electrons move through the electron transport chain from
photosystem II to photosystem I.
b. Photosynthesis begins when pigments in photosystem I (II) absorb light.
c. The difference in charges across the thylakoid membrane provides the energy to
make ATP.
20. What are the products of the light-dependent reactions? O2, ATP, NADPH
6. Circle the letter of each statement that is true about the Calvin cycle. Correct the false
statements.
a. The main products of the Calvin cycle are six carbon dioxide(GLUCOSE)
molecules.
b. Carbon dioxide molecules enter the Calvin cycle from the atmosphere.
c. Energy from ATP and high-energy electrons from NADPH are used to convert 3-
carbon molecules into similar(ALTERED) 3-carbon molecules.
d. The Calvin cycle uses six molecules of carbon dioxide to produce a single 6-
carbon sugar molecule.
7. What are the products of the Calvin cycle? Glucose! (ADP +P, NADP)
