Chapter 7: Photosynthesis

Question 1

Stomata

Answer 1

Where CO2 in the air enters through small openings

Question 2

Chloroplasts

Answer 2

Organelles that take in CO2 and H2O from the stomata, and carry on photosynthesis

Question 3

Stroma

Answer 3

The semifluid interior inside of the plant cell membrane; Also uses enzymes to create carbohydrates

Question 4

Thylakoids

Answer 4

Another membrane system in the stroma that forms flattened sacks.

Question 5

Chlorophyll

Answer 5

A pigment located inside the thylakoid membrane, absorbs solar energy

Question 6

Formula for photosynthesis

Answer 6

6 CO2 + 12 H2O —– 6 (CH2O) +6 H2O + 6 O2
(carbon dioxide + water + solar energy yields glucose + water + oxygen)

Question 7

Root words of photosynthesis

Answer 7

Photo is based on the 1st part of the cycle, the light reactions. Synthesis is based on the 2nd part of the cycle, the synthesis of carbs in the Calvin cycle

Question 8

Summary of light reactions

Answer 8

solar energy —- Chemical energy (ATP, NADPH)

Question 9

Summary of Calvin Cycle

Answer 9

Chemical energy—-Carbs
(ATP, NADPH)

Question 10

Photosystem

Answer 10

Consists of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, some carotenoids, and electron acceptor molecules
