Photosynthesis steps

Light Dependent Reactions and Calvin Cycle

QuestionAnswer
Step 1 of Light Reactions Sunlight hits chlorophyll molecules exciting electrons.
Step 2 of Light Reactions Electrons from photosystem 1 move down an electron transport chain and get added to NADP+ to make NADPH.
Step 3 of Light Reactions Electrons from Photosystem 2 move down another electron transport chain, pumping H+ ions into the thylakoid lumen, and replacing the lost electrons from Photosystem 1.
Step 4 of Light Reactions Water is split by light producing 2 electrons, 2 hydrogen ions, and oxygen. The electrons replace those lost in photosystem 2, the oxygen leaves as waste, the hydrogen stays in the lumen.
Step 5 of Light Reactions H+ ions move out of the lumen through ATP synthase. The energy of that movement helps ATP synthase produce ATP from ADP molecules.
Step 6 of Light Reactions Both ATP and NADPH head to the stroma to be used in the Calvin Cycle.
Step 1 of Calvin Cycle 3 molecules of Carbon Dioxide are added to three 5-carbon molecules of RuBP to produce six 3-carbon molecules of 3PG.
Step 2 of Calvin Cycle the six 3PG molecules get energy from ATP and NADPH and turn into six molecules of G3P.
Step 3 of Calvin Cycle One of the G3P's leaves the Calvin cycle to join with another G3P to produce glucose.
Step 4 of Calvin Cycle the five remaining G3P's get energy from ATP and rearrange back into the 3 RuBP molecules we started with.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
