electric and magnetic vibrations

39
Q

What determines the color and energy of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?

long wavelengths correspond to low frequencies

45
Q

A

short wavelengths correspond to high frequencies

46
Q

What frequencies correspond to long wavelengths?

A

low frequencies correspond to long wavelengths

47
Q

48
Q

What are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum in order of least to most energy?

A

radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma

49
Q

What is the order of the colors of the visible spectrum from lowest to greatest energy?

A

red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo, and violet

50
Q

pigments

A

molecules that change when they absorb visible light (release e-) (the change may be reversed)

51
Q

What spectrums would provide the greatest energy for living organisms?

A

UV, x-ray, and gamma

52
Q

Why can organisms not use UV, x-ray, and gamma to get more energy than from visible light?

A

nothing has evolved that can absorb the energy without being harmed or mutated

53
Q

What are the pigments in chloroplasts?

A

chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, carotenoids, and rhodopsin

54
Q

What colors of light does chlorophyll A absorb?

A

violet, blue, orange, and red light

55
Q

What colors of light does chlorophyll B absorb?

A

blue, indigo, and some orange and red light

56
Q

What color of light do carotenoids absorb?

A

all colors of light except green, red, and yellow

57
Q

What type of pigment are carotenoids?

A

accessory pigments

58
Q

What is special about carotenoids?

A

they break down later in the year, giving plants their fall colors

59
Q

Where is rhodopsin found?

A

some bacteria and the eyes of animals

60
Q

Why do plants have multiple pigments?

A

to avoid wasted energy

61
Q

What affects the light absorbed by different pigment molecules?

A

the size of the pigment molecules

62
Q

What are the three major energy conversions in photosynthesis?

A

absorption of light energy, conversion of light energy into chemical energy, storage of chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates

63
Q

What are the two major reaction groups in photosynthesis?

A

light reactions and the Calvin Cycle

64
Q

What happens in the light reactions?

A
  • pigment molecules absorb light in the thylakoid membrane- water is split into 2H-, 2e-, and 1/2O2- light in converted to chemical energy in photosystems
65
Q

What happens in the Calvin Cycle?

A

3-carbon sugars are created from the chemical energy from the light reactions and CO2- 3-carbon sugars combine to produce 6-carbon sugars (glucose)

66
Q

What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?

A

6CO2 + H2) –> C6H12O6 + 602

67
Q

How many Calvin Cycles does it take to produce a 12 carbon sugar?

A
