3 - The Stroma
The part of the chloroplast where the calvin cycle (the dark reactions) takes place.
4 - imbeded in the membrane of the thylakoids
The part of the chloroplast where the chlorophyll is found.
4 - The thylakoids (5 is a granum which are stacks of thylakoids)
The part of the chloroplast where the light-dependent reactions take place.
Glucose(sugar) and oxygen
What are the products of the the summary equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
What are the reactants of the summary equation for photosynthesis?
Green light
What color light does chlorophyll reflect?
Blue and Red parts of the visible light spectrum
What parts of the visible light spectrum does chlorophyll absorb?
The sun
Where does the energy that plants use to make glucose in the process of photosynthesis come from?
Many of the cell that make up the leaves contain chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll which reflects green light.
Why are the leaves of most plants green?
