What are the two major reactions in photosynthesis?Light reaction and respirationLight reaction and dark reactionCyclic and non-cyclic phosphorylationCarboxylation and reductionQuestion 2 of 203. What is produced during the light reaction?Glucose and oxygenATP and NADPH₂CO₂ and waterRuBP and PGAQuestion 3 of 204. What happens when a chlorophyll molecule absorbs a photon?It releases oxygenAn electron is boosted to a higher energy levelIt synthesizes glucoseIt breaks down waterQuestion 4 of 205. What are P680 and P700 in photosynthesis?Types of carotenoidsReaction centers in photosystemsEnzymes in the Calvin cycleElectron carriers in the stromaQuestion 5 of 206. What is the role of antenna molecules in photosynthesis?They fix CO₂They absorb and transfer light energy to reaction centersThey produce ATPThey release oxygenQuestion 6 of 207. What does Photosystem II primarily do?Produces NADPH₂Brings about photolysis of waterFixes CO₂Regenerates RuBPQuestion 7 of 208. What is the byproduct of water photolysis in Photosystem II?Carbon dioxideOxygenGlucoseATPQuestion 8 of 209. What is the role of Photosystem I in photosynthesis?It splits water to release oxygenIt produces NADPH₂It fixes CO₂It regenerates ATPQuestion 9 of 2010. What is cyclic photophosphorylation?Electron flow involving both PS I and PS IIElectron flow only through PS I, producing ATPElectron flow producing glucoseElectron flow releasing oxygenQuestion 10 of 2011. What is non-cyclic photophosphorylation?Electron flow involving only PS IElectron flow involving PS I and PS II, producing ATP and NADPHElectron flow producing glucoseElectron flow without ATP productionQuestion 11 of 2012.
