- Q1What are the light-absorbing compounds that photosynthetic organisms use to capture sunlight energy?ThylakoidsStromaPigmentsGrana30s
- Q2What is the principal pigment found in green plants?ATPCaroteneChlorophyllNADP+30s
- Q3In what regions of the visible spectrum do chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b absorb light very well?Orange and greenGreen and yellowIndigo and violetBlue-violet and red30s
- Q4What color of light does chlorophyll reflect, making leaves appear green?YellowGreenRedBlue30s
- Q5What is the primary role of pigments in photosynthesis?To create water moleculesTo produce oxygenTo synthesize ATPTo capture energy from sunlight30s
- Q6What are accessory pigments, like carotene, responsible for?Storing high-energy electronsBreaking down chlorophyllThe green color of leavesAbsorbing light in other regions of the spectrum30s
- Q7Why do leaves of some plants change color in the fall?NADP+ levels dropChlorophyll molecules break down firstCarotene production increasesThe stroma fluid freezes30s
- Q8In plants and other photosynthetic eukaryotes, where does photosynthesis take place?RibosomesThe nucleusMitochondriaChloroplasts30s
- Q9What are the saclike chlorophyll-containing membranes inside a chloroplast called?StromaThylakoidsCarotenesGrana30s
- Q10What is a stack of thylakoids known as?A chloroplastA stromaA pigmentA granum30s
- Q11What is the fluid-filled portion of the chloroplast located outside of the thylakoids?Inner membraneStromaThylakoid spaceGranum30s
- Q12How does chlorophyll make photosynthesis work?It splits carbon dioxideIt transfers light energy to its own electronsIt reflects all colors of lightIt combines with oxygen30s
- Q13What are the two reactants in the overall equation for photosynthesis?Sugars and OxygenATP and NADPHWater and Carbon DioxideLight and Pigments30s
- Q14What are the two main products of the overall photosynthesis equation?Sugars and OxygenChlorophyll and StromaNADPH and ATPCarbon dioxide and Water30s
- Q15What is the overall process of photosynthesis?Using energy to convert sugars and oxygen into water and CO2Using ATP to convert NADPH into NADP+Using pigments to reflect green lightUsing sunlight energy to convert water and CO2 into sugars and oxygen30s
