CH 5 Photosynthesis Flashcards
what doe Photosynthesis release into the atmosphere?
oxygen and glucose
Photosynthesis
process that converts SUN energy into chemical energy to build GLUCOSE
Photoautotrophs
plants that use SUN and CARBON DIOXIDE to make chemical reactions
what r themost essential in Photosynthesis?
sunlight, carbon dioxide and water
Mesophyll
where photosynthesis occurs
stomata
the gap in the lower epidermis of the Mesophyll
where the exchange of CO2 and O2 occurs
Thylacoids and where they are located
in Chloroplasts of plant cells
“coin stack” - granum
the main place where chemical reactions occur
what is inside Thylacoids?
chlorophyll
Light Dependant Reaction and describe Photosynthesis 2
First process of photosynthesis
- photon of light strikes Photosynthesis 2
- energy goes thru ETC and pumps out H ions into Thylakoid space form Eletrochemical GRadient
- Ions go thru ATP Synthase into Stroma (Chemiosmosis)
- forms ATP
Photosynthesis 1
gets hit by hit again by photon lol and NADPH is produced
which travels to the Calvin Cycle
Calvin Cycle ( Klein)
NADPH, ATP and CO2 enter the cycle and Glucose is producesd
Photosynthesis in Prokaryotes
Prokaryotic photosynthetic autotrophic organisms have infoldings of the plasma membrane for chlorophyll attachment and photosynthesis.
Wtf the energy cycle
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration function in a biological cycle, allowing organisms to access lifesustaining energy
