CH 5: Quiz on Photosynthesis Flashcards
Is the creation of NADPH oxidized or reduced in the photosynthesis process?
Reduced
Where is the light-dependent reaction occurring in the chloroplast?
It happens in the photosystems I and II.
What happens to the H+ from photolysis?
Through the use of electrons and a protein, it enters the thylakoid with a substantial H+ concentration.
How is ATP made? what is the process called?
It is made in the ATP synthase through the passive transport of H+ ions in a process of chemiosmosis.
What is a Thylakoid Lumen
The area inside of a thylakoid disk.
What is the outermost membrane of a chloroplast cell called?
Outer Membrane
What is the inner membrane of a chloroplast cell called?
Inner membrane
What is a singular round thing in a chloroplast cell called?
Thylakoid
What are multiple round things in a chloroplast cell called?
Granum.
What is the space inside of a chloroplast cell called?
Stroma
What is the first step of the light dependent reactions of Photosynthesis?
- Electron splits from water molecule
- Electron carrier carries it into photosystem II
- At reaction center the electron gets excited with light energy
- Electron carrier carries it to electron acceptor
What is the second step of the light dependent reactions of Photosynthesis?
- Electrons go through the electron transport system
- Some electron energy is used into light independent reactions (Chemiosmosis, helping transportation of H+ to thylakoid)
What is the third step of the light dependent reactions of Photosynthesis?
- Electron carrier carries it to the photosytem I
- Electron gets excited by light energy at the reaction centre
- Electron carrier carries it to electron acceptor
What is the fourth step of the light dependent reactions of Photosynthesis?
- Electron transport system caries it to help in the creation of NADPH
NADP+ + H+ = NADPH
What is Reducing power? Give two examples.
Molecules that contain a large amount of available energy
Glucose and NADPH
What is the difference between chloroplast and chlorophyll?
chlorophyll is food producers of the cell which are present in green plants, found inside the chloroplast.
What is carbon fixation?
The process of converting carbon dioxide into a starting molecule in the Calvin Benson Cycle
What are the products of the Calvin Benson cycle
Glucose, ADP, NADP+,
