Other questions in this quiz

2. Where does the light-dependent reaction take place?

  • In the stroma
  • In the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast
  • In the chloroplast membrane
  • In the lower mesophyll layer only

3. Why are there different pigments present in the chloroplast?

  • Because each pigment absorbs different wavelengths of light
  • Because some pigments absorb infrared radiation
  • Because each pigment is a different colour
  • Because each pigment is located in a different part of the chloroplast and are thus in different conditions

4. The products of the photolysis (splitting) of water are...

  • O2, H+ and a neutron
  • O2, H+ and an electron
  • OH-, H+
  • H+ and an electron

5. What is the function of light in the light-depedent reaction?

  • photolysis of water, to reduce glycerate-3-phospate, to make ATP
  • To make ATP, photolysis of water, to excite an electron in chlorophyll
  • To reduce CO2, to make ATP, to excite an electron in chlorophyll
  • To make ATP, photolysis of water, To enable the chlorophyll to take up an electron
