Enzymes are required during which of the following reactions?

In the process of photosynthesis, _________and_________formed during the light reactions are required in the Calvin cycle to reduce carbon dioxide to glucose.

The majority of the leafʹs chloroplasts are found in the mesophyll cells.

What structural feature of a leaf enables it to obtain CO₂ from the air?

Pigments that absorb light energy to drive photosynthesis include

Explain how the leaf is adapted for capturing energy from sunlight and for acquiring carbon dioxide and water.

The carotenoids and other accessory pigments in the chloroplast help capture light into the reaction centerʹs chlorophyll molecules.

During photosynthesis, when is CO₂ utilized?

The products of photosynthesis are

What happens to CO₂ when it moves into the stroma?

Light reactions occur in the_________ , and the Calvin cycle occurs in the_________ of the chloroplast of a typical mesophyll leaf cell.

Photosystem II generates_________ , and photosystem I generates_________ , both of which are required by the light reactions.

The term cycle is used to describe the Calvin cycle because
