Photosynthesis | Graded A+
1. What are the reactants in the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
Oxygen and sunlight
Glucose and oxygen
Nutrients and minerals
2. In photosynthesis, what happens to the water?
Water gives up an electron becoming oxidized to oxygen
carbon dioxide
It is converted to ATP via the Calvin cycle
It takes part in the reaction but is unchanged
3. Describe the role of NADP+ in the process of photosynthesis.
NADP+ is involved in the breakdown of glucose during cellular
respiration.
NADP+ is a substrate for glucose synthesis in the Calvin cycle.
NADP+ acts as an electron carrier that is reduced to NADPH during
the light-dependent reactions.
NADP+ is produced as a byproduct of ATP synthesis.
4. What is the role of water in the process of photosynthesis?
Water is converted into oxygen gas.
Water is used to transport nutrients.
