What is the equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O + 🌞 —-> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is a reactant gas from the atmosphere
o2
What is a reactant liquid from soil
Water
What element describes energy
Light
Product = glucose used as stored energy
c6h12o6
Product = oxygen has given off to atmosphere
co2
Spaces between stacks of thylakoid membranes on chloroplasts
Stroma
Yellow, orange and red ligaments in chloroplast that absorb light energy
Carotenoid
Green pigments in chloroplast that absorb light energy
Chlorophyll
Range of colours making up white light
Visible spectrum
Stacks of thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts
Grana
What are the two stages of photosynthesis
Light dependent
Light independent
Where does each of the 2 stages of photosynthesis occur
Light dep.- thylakoid
Light indep.- stroma of the chloroplasts
What cycle produces sugar
Photosynthesis
What is the purpose of NADP+ (NADPH)
To carry the hydrogen electrons to the next stage
