How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration work together to provide the energy necessary for life?
What is photosynthesis? What is the chemical equation of photosynthesis?
What do we call organisms that are able to undergo photosynthesis?
How do the reactants CO2 and H2O reach the chloroplasts in the leaves?
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
Why are plants green? What are the light-absorbing pigments found in chloroplasts? Which visible wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum are absorbed by these pigments?
What is a photosystem? Where are photosystems found in the chloroplast? What happens when light is absorbed by a photosystem?
What occurs during the light reactions?
Why is water necessary in the light reactions?
What are the products of the light reactions, and what role do these products play in the overall photosynthesis reaction?
What occurs during the Calvin cycle?
What are the products of the Calvin cycle?
