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

4. Thylakoids are sac-like photosynthetic membranes.

5. In the thylakoids are clusters of the pigment, Chlorophyl and proteins which are called Photosystems

6. What important by-product is released during the light-dependent reactions? Sugar

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.

10. Another name for the light-independent reactions is Calvin Cycle

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
