CH. 5

Question 1

Know where photosynthesis takes place

Answer 1

Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, anywhere from a plant absorbing light and use electron transport chains to convert to energy as a form of food in order to live

Question 2

Know the input/output of the two photosystems

Answer 2

Input- water, carbon dioxide, and energy in the form of sunlight
Output- glucose and oxygen

Question 3

photosynthesis

Answer 3

converts light energy into chemical energy and stores it into chemical compound
*CO2+water–> (light energy)–> sugars+02

Question 4

Two stages of photosynthesis

Answer 4

Light dependent reactions
Convert light energy to chemical energy of ATP and NADPH, releasing oxygen
Occur at the thylakoid membrane
Fuels light independent reactions
Light independent reactions
Atp and NADPH drive synthesis of sugars from water and CO2
Occurs in the stroma

Question 5

Inputs of calvin Cycle

Answer 5

Carbon fixation
Reduction
Regeneration of the starting molecule

Question 6

autotrophs

Answer 6

are able to make there own food using light, water, carbon dioxide

Question 7

Heterotrophs

Answer 7

must rely on other organisms for there organic compounds or food source

Question 8

Chloroplast

Answer 8

Photosynthetic species use pigments to collect
light energy for photosynthesis.
– An organic molecule that can absorb light at
specific wavelengths – Chlorophyll a
• Main photosynthetic pigment in plants
