Light Independent Reaction Lesson Cycle Notes

Why do you think photosynthesis is important for the well-being of all living things, including ourselves?

What is the difference between the thylakoids and stroma of the chloroplast?

Create a metaphor to compare the light independent and dependent reactions.

OR

What if the light-dependent reactions suddenly stopped working in plants? How would you describe the impact on the entire process of photosynthesis and the environment as a whole?

Think back to the investigation that we started with, which test tubes were affected by light? Explain why you think those tubes got different results in the light and dark based on what you have learned about photosynthesis.

Do you think that the same results would happen in any kind of light?
