Photosynthesis
The Light-Dependent Reactions: Generating ATP and NADPH
1. What are the two main sets of reactions which occur during photosynthesis? The main 2 sets of reactions that
occur during photosynthesis is Granum and the Stroma.
2. The light-dependent reactions use the sun’s energy to convert Light and H2O
into the chemical energy stored in the electron carriers ATP & NADPH.
3. Where do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur (be specific)? The light reactions happen in the
stroma, but the reaction come through in the Thylakoid
5. In the thylakoids are clusters of the pigment, Chlorophyl and proteins which are called Photosystems
7. Which of the following is an electron carrier which plays a role in photosynthesis? (highlight)
a. H2O b. NADP+ c. CO2 d. O2
8. SUMMARY: The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis use ATP and Water to produce Oxygen gas and to
convert ADP and NADP+ into the energy carriers ATP and NADPH
Section 9.3 The Process of Photosynthesis
The Light-Independent Reactions: Producing Sugars
9. During the light-independent reactions, the ATP and NADPH which were created during the light-dependent reactions, are
used to Synthesize high energy sugars.
11. What reactant of photosynthesis enters the light-independent reactions from the atmosphere? Co2
12. In which part of the chloroplast does the Calvin Cycle occur? Stroma
13. SUMMARY: The Calvin Cycle uses Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, along with the energy provided by the ATP
and NADPH (from the light-dependent reactions) to produce high-energy sugars
