1. The energy for this reaction comes from: SUNLIGHT
2. In photosynthesis, water is split into: H+ (hydrogen ions) and O2 (oxygen gas)
3. Photosynthetic sites placed in the: THYLAKOID MEMBRANE are responsible for light-dependent reactions.
4. The plant pigment that absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light is: CHLOROPHYLL A
5. Chlorophyll appears green because it reflects: GREEN LIGHT
6. Label the following diagram below to summarize the two stages, cellular locale, reactants and products made during photosynthesis:
- Light-Dependent Reactions (Thylakoid Membrane): Reactants - H2O, Light; Products - O2, ATP, NADPH
- Calvin Cycle (Stroma): Reactants - CO2, ATP, NADPH; Products - C6H12O6 (glucose)
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of photosynthesis diagram worksheet key.
