1. The process of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
2. The process of photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy.
3. The main pigment involved in photosynthesis is chlorophyll.
4. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.
5. The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll.
6. The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes.
7. The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the stroma.
8. The products of the light-dependent reactions are ATP and NADPH.
9. The products of the light-independent reactions are glucose and oxygen.
10. The overall chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.
