AP Bio Chapter 7 Flashcards
Autotrophs
Produce own food
Photosynthesis
Conversion of solar energy into chemical energy
Heterotrophs
Consumer
Photosynthesis equation
CO2+H2O + Solar energy –> C6H12O6+ O2
Stomata
Opening that allows co2 in and oxygen out
Chloroplast
Organelle that contains chlorophyll double membrane photosynthesis happens inside organell
Thylakoids
Flattened sac in chloroplast
Grana
Stack of thylakoids
Part of the plant cell
Mesophyll epidermis cuticle guard cell stoma xylem and phloem vascular bundle
Chlorophyll
Pigment located inside thylakoids membrane
Stroma
Semi fluid in chloroplasts
Reduced in photosynthesis equation
Carbon dioxide into sugar gains electrons
Oxidized in photosynthesis equation
Water into oxygen loss of electrons
NADP+
Co enzyme in photosynthesis that reduces to become NADPH will gain two electrons and h
NADPH
Electron carrier that gains two electrons and hydrogen
Two steps of photosynthesis
Lift and dark (Calvin cycle)
Light reaction
Only occurs with solar energy
Solar energy enters thylakoids
Energizes pigments and electrons( from water)
Electron reaches reaction center attaches to nadp+
Goes down etc releasing ATP that goes to Calvin
Electron reaches reaction center again
Attaches to nadp+ and goes to Calvin cycle
Green color
Chlorophyll a and b
Color of plants
All of the colors are absored or reflected. Reflected color is color of plant
Carotenoids
Reflects orange
Non cyclic pathway
Photo system 2
Photo system 2
Electrons from water bounces around until it reaches reaction center attaches to nadp+ goes down etc
Cyclic
Photo system 1
Photo system 1
Gains electron from etc electron reaches reaction center attaches to electron acceptor. If cyclic goes down etc continuously producing ATP for Calvin cycle or attaches to nadph and goes to Calvin
ATP synthase
Enzyme that joins p and adp to form ATP
Chemiosmosis
Method of producing ATP
Calvin cycle
RubP a dive carbon sugar combines with carbon dioxide to form an unstable six carbon sugar Wich breaks apart to two 3 pg which then combine together to form c6h12o6
Carbon dioxide fixation
First rep of carbon cycle. RuBP with co2
C3
Normal Calvin cycle
C4
Co2 combines with PEP a three carbon produces a four carbon oxaloacetate this takes co2 to Calvin cycle Avoid photoresperation
Photoresperation
Co2 is released instead of oxygen
Cam
Combination co2 with PEP to fix co2 storin it at night during the day the c4 molecule goes through Calvin Minimal photosynthesis but prevents loss of water
