What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll.

Which organisms are capable of photosynthesis?

Autotrophs, including plants, algae, and some bacteria.

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

ATP and NADPH, along with oxygen as a byproduct.

Where do the light-dependent reactions take place?

In the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.

What is the main product of the Calvin cycle?

Glucose.

What gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide (CO2).

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

$6CO_2 + 6H_2O + light \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$.

How does sunlight affect photosynthesis?

Sunlight provides the energy needed to drive the light-dependent reactions.
