Did you know that the ACT has a science section that tests your ability to interpret scientific data and make observations about the natural world? Photosynthesis:

– Light + water + carbon dioxide –> oxygen and glucose

– Occurs in chloroplasts – green pigment is called chlorophyll (only in plants!)

– Uses solar energy and converts this to glucose

– Results in the production of glucose and sugar, but glucose and sugar are not the same as ATP and cannot be used for all cell functions.

– ATP is used to pump molecules from low to high concentration (active transport)
