Chapter 10: Photosynthesis

Question 1

Stomata

Answer 1

openings in the leaf that allow for the exchange of gases

Question 2

Guard cells

Answer 2

open and close stomata openings

Question 3

Photosynthetic pigments

Answer 3

pigments found in chlorophyll absorb various portions of visible light; absorption spectrum

Question 4

Absorption spectrum

Answer 4

spectophotometer measures the amount of light that passes through a sample of pigments

Question 5

Action spectrum

Answer 5

measures the rate of photosynthesis at different wavelengths of light measured by the rate of oxygen produced

Question 6

Photosynthesis formula

Answer 6

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Question 7

Light reactions

Answer 7

take place when there is light present in the thylakoid

Question 8

Calvin cycle (dark reactions)

Answer 8

take place in stroma, occur in light or dark, reshuffling of carbons using NADPH and ATP as energy

Question 9

Stroma

Answer 9

open space in the chloroplast

Question 10

Thylakoid

Answer 10

green disks found in a stack (granum)

Question 11

photosystem 1

Answer 11

Makes NADPH (part of LR)

Question 12

photosystem 2

Answer 12

Makes ATP (part of LR)

Question 13

Electron Transport Chain

Answer 13

electron receptors from photosystem 2 pass H2O through to create ATP

Question 14

NADP reductase

Answer 14

reaction from photosystem 1 and 2 go through to create NADPH

Question 15

Chemiosmosis

Answer 15

the process of making ATP in LR

Question 16

Fixation

Answer 16

Attachment of CO2 to RuBP

Question 17

RuBP (Rubisco)

Answer 17

a 5 carbon molecule/enzyme that combines with carbon dioxide in the calvin cycle
