Sample Questions
The dark reaction of photosynthesis takes place in the:
Show answer
Stroma of chloroplast
The dark reaction (Calvin cycle) takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast, where all necessary enzymes for CO2 fixation are located.
The light reaction of photosynthesis occurs in the:
Show answer
Thylakoid membranes / Grana
The light reaction occurs on the thylakoid membranes within the grana of the chloroplast. This is where pigments are located and light energy is captured.
Chlorophyll a is the primary photosynthetic pigment.
Show answer
True
Chlorophyll a is the primary (main) photosynthetic pigment. It is the only pigment directly involved in the light reaction's photochemical act at the reaction centre.
What is the first stable product of the Calvin (C3) cycle?
Show answer
3-Phosphoglycerate (3-PGA)
3-PGA (3-phosphoglycerate) is the first stable 3-carbon compound formed when CO2 combines with RuBP via RuBisCo in the Calvin cycle.
