  • What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?
    The two main stages are the light reactions and the Calvin cycle.
  • Where do the light reactions occur in eukaryotic cells?
    The light reactions occur in the thylakoids of the chloroplast.
  • What is the main function of the light reactions in photosynthesis?
    The light reactions convert light and water into chemical energy and oxygen gas.
  • Where does the Calvin cycle take place in eukaryotic cells?
    The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast.
  • What does the Calvin cycle use to synthesize glucose?
    The Calvin cycle uses carbon dioxide and chemical energy from the light reactions.
  • What are the main inputs of photosynthesis?
    The main inputs are solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide.
  • What are the main outputs of photosynthesis?
    The main outputs are oxygen gas and glucose.
  • Where does photosynthesis mainly occur in eukaryotes?
    Photosynthesis mainly occurs in the chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells.
  • Where do the light reactions occur in prokaryotic cells?
    In prokaryotes, the light reactions occur in the plasma membrane.
  • Where does the Calvin cycle occur in prokaryotic cells?
    The Calvin cycle occurs in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.
  • Why is the location of photosynthesis reactions different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
    Prokaryotes lack chloroplast organelles, so their reactions occur in the plasma membrane and cytoplasm.
  • What chemical energy is produced by the light reactions?
    The light reactions produce chemical energy that powers the Calvin cycle.
  • What is the role of water in the light reactions?
    Water is used in the light reactions to help produce oxygen gas and chemical energy.
  • What is the site of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells?
    The site of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells is the chloroplast.
  • Which stage of photosynthesis produces oxygen gas?
    Oxygen gas is produced during the light reactions stage.
