Question
Chapter 7.1, Problem 3TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The process of photosynthesis occurs in two stages inside a chloroplast. The two stages are light reactions and carbon reactions. The carbon reaction is also known as the Calvin cycle. It takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts.

Which of the following is FALSE about photosynthesis?
Group of answer choices:
-Organisms that can utilize light energy as a food source are called autotrophs.
-Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.
-The light phase of photosynthesis produces ATP and NADH.
-Carbohydrates, with the aid of energy and reducing power produced from the light phase, are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water.
The chlorophyll in photosynthesis is used for:
I. Absorbing light
II. Breaking down water molecule
III. No function
IV. Reduction of CO2
