CA4 Flashcards
Where does the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast
Thylakoid
Where does the light independent reaction (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast
Stroma
What is the equation for photosynthesis
6CO2+6H2O——> C6H12O6+6O2
Light
What are two cellular activities that require ATP
Calvin cycle, active transport
What are two differences between ADP and ATP
ATP has 3 phosphate groups ADP has 2 phosphate groups
ATP has more energy then ADP
What part of ATP is the key to its ability to store and release energy?
Phosphate groups
What are the two reactions involved jn photosynthesis
Calvin cycle and light dependent reactions
What is the purpose of NADP+
Acts as a carrier molecule
Where does photosynthesis occur
Chloroplast
What is the purpose of the electron transport chain in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis
To make a H+ ion gradient
What is the purpose of chemiosmosis in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis
To use the H+ ion gradient
What is the name of the “ultimate monomer” that is produced during the light independent reaction of photosynthesis
NADP+
The light independent reaction of photosynthesis (Calvin cycle) occurs in the _____ of the chloroplast
The stroma
What are two substances that are produced in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis that serve as sources of energy for the light dependent reaction (Calvin cycle)
ATP and NADPH
What are the two substances that are produced in the light independent reaction (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis that are used in the light dependent reaction
ADP+P and NADP+
