 Chloroplasts and it’s structures/functions
 Chlorophyll a and b
 Three energy conversions
 Equation of photosynthesis
 Two groups of reactions
 What is the most important result of photosynthesis?
4.3 Light Reactions
I can describe:
 What goes into and out of the light reactions (products and reactants)
 What happens to those things going in?
 What are the roles of ADP and NADP+ ?
 Where does this take place?
4.4 Calvin Cycle
I can describe:
 What goes into and out of the light reactions (products and reactants)
 What happens to those things going in?
 What are the roles of ATP and NADPH?
 Where does this take place?
