19
Q

What happens once the energy from electrons is directed towards cholorophyll

A

Energy of electrons in chlorophyll is increased and causes them to be lost from the chlorophyll molecule

20
Q

In photosystem II what are the electrons lost from chlorophyll replaced with?

A

electrons from H2O

21
Q

What are electrons passed down?

A

Electron transport chain

22
Q

What happens to the H+ ions

A

Actively transported accross the membrane

23
Q

Where are the H+ ions transported from and to

A

From the Stroma in to the thylacoid compartment

24
Q

TF:
Photosystem II is involved in more than one process

A

F:
Photosystem II is only involved in ATP production

25
Q

How does H+ pass back in to the stoma in Photosystem II?

A

ATP synthase

26
Q

What happens to the electrons at the end of the electron transport chain of Photosystem II?

A

They are passed on to Photosystem I

27
Q

What are the two paths that excited electrons can take?

A

Cyclic
Non cyclic

28
Q

What happens to an electron that takes the cyclic path in Photosystem I

A

They travel through an electron transport chain back to photosystem I

29
Q

What does the cyclic path produce?

A

ATP

30
Q

What process does the cyclic path use to create ATP

A

Chemiosmosis

31
Q

What happens to electrons in the Non cyclic path?

A

They are passed to an electron carrier

32
Q

What is the electron carrier used in the non cyclic path?

A

NADP+

33
Q

What are the 3 phases of the Dark Reactions

A

Carbon fixation
Reduction
Regeneration

34
Q

What does carbon combine with in the carbon fixation phase?

A

5 Carbon sugar

35
Q

What happens once carbon has attached itself to the sugar molecule?

A

It splits in to 2 molecules

36
Q

In the reduction phase what are donated to 3 Carbon molecules and what donates them?

A

Electrons are donated from NADPH

37
Q

In the reduction phase, what happens to one of the 3 carbon products?

A

Used to produce glucose

38
Q

In the Regeneration phase, what happens to one of the 3 carbon compounds? And does it require energy? if so, what is the name of the energy required?

A

It is used to make a new RuBP, it requires ATP

39
Q

What is the name of the Balance between light and dark reactions?

A

Photostasis

40
Q

TF:
Organisms build photosynthetic systems to balance light and dark reactions

A

True

41
Q

What happens to reaction centers in photostasis if they remain reduced?

A

They will be damaged

42
Q

What reactions are temperature sensitive?

A

Dark reactions

43
Q

What two measures can be taken to compensate for a change in temperature?

A

Change in pigment
Reduce their chlorophyll levels

44
Q

What happens to plants when they take in CO2?

A

lose water

45
Q

What part of the plant regulates gas exchange in leaves?

A

Stomata

46
Q

TF:
The stomata prevents water loss

A

True
