What is the process of photosynthesis primarily conducted by?

Chloroplasts in plant cells.

What is the main pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll.

During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are converted into what?

Glucose and oxygen.

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

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

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis called?

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

What occurs during the light-dependent reactions?

Conversion of solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

What is produced as a waste product during the light-dependent reactions?

Oxygen.

In which part of the chloroplast do the light-independent reactions occur?

Stroma.

What molecule is specifically used in the Calvin cycle to fix CO2?

RuBP (ribulose bisphosphate).
