    Photosynthesis Review Worksheet

    1) The document is a worksheet reviewing photosynthesis. It contains questions about the overall equation, source of energy, pigments involved, location, stages, products, and a diagram labeling the two stages. 2) Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen through two stages - the light reactions in the thylakoid membranes that produce ATP and NADPH, and the Calvin cycle in the stroma that uses these products to produce glucose. 3) Chlorophyll appears green because it absorbs most wavelengths of light except green, which it reflects.

    Photosynthesis Review Worksheet


    1) What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
    6 CO2 + 6 H2O  glucose (C6H12O6) + 6 O2
    It is the reverse of the overall reaction for cellular respiration.

    2) From where does the energy for photosynthesis come? ________________________________________


    (What is the catalyst?) sunlight

    3) What plant pigments are involved in photosynthesis? List all that you can think of and the colors of light
    they reflect.

    a) Explain why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of
    light that strike a chlorophyll molecule.

    4) In which plant cell organelle, does photosynthesis take place? __________________________________


    in the chloroplasts

    5) What are the two stages of photosynthesis? List all the names that you can think of. Which part of the
    chloroplast does each stage occur?
    a)

    b)

    6) What happens to water molecules in the light reactions?

    7) What photosynthesis waste product is formed in the light reactions? _____________________________


    oxygen gas (O2)

    8) What two products of the light reactions are used up in the Calvin cycle?
    a)

    b)

    ATP and NADPH

    9) What happens to carbon dioxide molecules in the Calvin cycle reactions? What is the name of the
    enzyme that helps with the first step of the cycle?

    In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide molecules (CO2) are combined with each other and with the electrons
    and H’s from NADPH to form glucose (C6H12O6).

    10) Which carbon compounds are formed over the course of the Calvin cycle? In what form of sugar to cells
    store carbohydrates? (Hint: it is a product made AFTER the calvin cycle)
    It is stored as starch.

    11) Label the diagram below to summarize the two stages of photosynthesis. Use the word bank below the
    diagram to fill in the blanks.
