  • Q3
    What is the equation for photosynthesis?
    6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy
    6CO2 + C6H12O6 -> 6O2 + 6H2O + light energy
    6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
    C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy

  • Q4
    What is the role of NADP+ in photosynthesis?
    It provides the energy to make ATP from ADP.
    It reflects green light so it's not absorbed by chlorophyll.
    It accepts and carries the excited electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules.
    It protects the plant from oxidative damage.

  • Q5
    During photosynthesis, what molecule is split to provide the electrons needed to produce ATP?
    Glucose
    Water
    Carbon dioxide
    Oxygen
    30s
  • Q6
    What is the primary function of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?
    To release oxygen
