Cells-Photosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
Carbon fixation
A
Series of enzyme controlled reactions where ATP, hydrogen and carbon dioxide produce sugar
2
Q
Cellulose
A
Structural sugar
3
Q
Chlorophyll
A
Absorbs light energy from the sun
4
Q
Chloroplast
A
Site of photosynthesis
5
Q
Hydrogen acceptor
A
Transfers hydrogen to carbon fixation
6
Q
Light reactions
A
Light energy is used to create ATP and split water into hydrogen and oxygen
7
Q
Limiting factors
A
If light intensity, temperature or carbon dioxide concentration is in short supply, the rate of photosynthesis is reduced
8
Q
Starch
A
Storage sugar
9
Q
