Ch. 9: Photosynthesis: Capturing Light Energy Flashcards
what is the formula for it
6CO2 + 12 H2O + light energy –> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
how many wavelength types
two: long and short
__ wavelengths have __ energy (tv/radio/microwaves)
long; low
_- wavelengths have _- energy (uv; x-ray; gamma rays)
short; high
__ measure wavelength
nanometers
__ is composed of small particles (packets of light energy called __-)
light; photons
when a photon hits an atom, it __ and is __ by an electron trasporter
makes energy/emit; accepted
__ is not in all plants and have 2 membranes
cholorplast
__ have mitochondrias
plants
__ is the __ of chloroplasts
stroma; cytoplasm
__ is a flat membrane sac found in the stroma
thylakoid (where almost evrything takes place)
_- is found inside the chloroplast
stroma
__ is a green pigment and the main pigmen tof photosynthesis
chlorophyll
__ is an accesory pigment
carotenoids
__ dependednt rxn take place where
light; thylakoid (h2o in, it is split, and o2 goes out)
