ch6/7 photosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
where is the thylakoid located in?
A
inner membrane of chloroplast
2
Q
in the process, what is sunlight converted to?
A
ATP
3
Q
what is ATP used to convert?
A
CO2
4
Q
what is CO2 converted into
A
C6H12O6
5
Q
what do chloroplast absorb?
A
sunlight
6
Q
chlorophyll and other pigments are grouped into what?
A
photosystems in the chloroplast
7
Q
when photosystems absorb light, what happens to their electrons?
A
they get excited
8
Q
where do excited e- go through?
A
the electron transport chain (ETC)
9
Q
sum up part 1
A
- sunlight is absorbed by the photosystems
- electrons get excited; they move down the inner membrane
- water gets split
10
Q
sum up part 2
A
- electrons give energy to proton pumps
- protons (H+) are pushed to one side of the membrane
- this causes a concentration gradient (build up of H+)
11
Q
what is a concentration gradient?
A
build up of protons (H+)
12
Q
sum up part 3
A
- protons pass through ATP synthase
- ATP is made
13
Q
what does ETC stand for?
A
electron transport chain
14
Q
what is ATP synthase?
A
the enzyme that can add ADP + P to make ATP
15
Q
in act 2, what is inorganic carbon dioxide converted into?
A
organic glucose
