Name ___________________ Period ___ The Photosynthesis 2 Step!!! Directions: Use the diagram below to answer the following questions. 1. rite the 3 reactants and the 2 products of photosynthesis. 2. otosynthesis occurs in two steps. From the diagram above what are the names of the two steps of photosynthesis? 3. hat are the 2 reactants (from #1) that are used in the Light Reaction? 4. hat is the product of the Light Reaction that is also a reactant of Respiration? 5. TP and NADPH are like “re-chargeable batteries”. What do you think is the major function of the Light Reaction? 6. ecifically, where does the light reaction occur in a plant cell? 7. What is the 1 reactant and 1 product (from #1) of the Calvin Cycle? 8. Why do you think the Calvin Cycle is also called the “Dark Reaction”? 9. What do you think is the function of the ATP and the NADPH for the Calvin Cycle? 10. What is the chemical formula for Glucose? Carbon Dioxide? 11. How many Carbon Dioxide molecules are required to make 1 glucose molecule? 12. Where does the Hydrogen (H) in a glucose molecule come from? 13. What is the product of the Calvin Cycle that is also a reactant of respiration? 14. The oxygen that is produced in the Light Reaction was originally a part of which reactant? 15. If you were looking at a water plant, how would you know if it was performing photosynthesis? Summarize each of the steps of Photosynthesis in the table below. Make sure to include the reactants, the products and the overall purpose of each step. Use complete sentences and correct spelling (make your English teachers and your Biology teachers proud).
