Biology #2 Flashcards
What are the reactants for the photosynthesis reactions?
Carbon Dioxide
And
Water
What are the products for the photosynthesis reaction?
Sugar and oxygen!
How does a plant obtain the reactants needed for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
What role is played by the hydrogen ions that were released from the water molecules?
To give energy!
What is the main photosynthetic pigments of photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll A
Chlorophyll B
Explain why chlorophyll is in photosynthesis?
It is necessary because it is what converts the carbon dioxide and the water
What is the role of chlorophyll?
Let’s plants absorb energy from plants.
Why is sunlight needed in photosynthesis?
It is the energy that makes the whole thing happen. It uses its energy to convert.
Name the part of the leaf that is the primary region of photosynthesis.
Mesophyll
Explain what happens when sunlight hits chlorophyll molecules
The energy of the light excites the electrons!
What is the name if the electron carrier in photosynthesis?
Nicotinamide adanine dinucleotide phosphate.
What is the purpose of the dependent reaction.
Converts solar energy into chemical energy.
Name the three substances that are formed when water molecules are broken down.
Oxygen, hydrogen, and electron acceptor.
What happens to the oxygen released from the water molecules.
Goes into the atmosphere.
Describe what happens to the high energy electrons that are produced by photosystem 1.
Contributing its energy to pump the hydrogen.
