Activity 1.1 Photosynthesis

The document is a worksheet for a college environmental science course activity on photosynthesis. It contains questions about the overall reaction, energy source, pigments involved, organelles where it takes place, and two stages - light reactions in the thylakoid membranes that produce ATP, NADPH, and O2 from water; and Calvin cycle reactions in the stroma that use CO2, ATP, and NADPH to produce sugar. A diagram is included to label the two stages of photosynthesis.

Activity 1.1: The Process of Photosynthesis

1. What is the overall reaction for photosynthesis?

2. How does this compare to the overall reaction for cellular respiration?

3. Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from?

4. What plant pigments are involved in photosynthesis?

5. Explain why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different


wavelengths of light that strike a chlorophyll molecule.

6. How does the amount of energy in light change as the wavelength increases?

7. Which colors of light are most effective for photosynthesis? Explain why.

8. In what organelle of a plant cell does photosynthesis take place?

9. What are the two stages of photosynthesis?

10. In which part of the chloroplast does each stage occur?

11. What happens to water molecules in the light reactions?

12. What photosynthesis waste product is formed in the light reactions?

13. What two products of the light reactions are used up in the Calvin cycle?

14. What happens to carbon dioxide molecules in the Calvin cycle reactions?

15. How can cells store the sugar that is produced in photosynthesis?

16. Label the diagram below to summarize the two stages of photosynthesis. Use the word bank
below the diagram to fill in the blanks.
