Chapter 7 Test Flashcards
To prepare studets to get 100 Percent on their chapter 7 test
Oxidation Vs Reduction
Oxidation is loss of electrons
Reduction is gain of electrons
Photosynthesis
uses Solar Energy
Makes Carbohydrates and organic molecules from Co2
Makes ATP for the cell
Mitochondria
Makes ATP for the Cell
Stomata
a slit in the epidermis of the leaf that lets gasses in and out
Thylakoids
disks in the chloroplast that are covered in chlorophyll
Chlorophyll a
432-662 nm
Chlorophyll b
460 -642 nM
Carotenoids
funnel energy to chlorophyl
they absorb the blue-green spectrum and funnel this to clorophyll
Phycobilins
cyanobachteria
Present in red seaweed
similar to caratenoids
Protective chemicals
Xanthophyl and Antocyanin
Photosystem II
(Remember this is II)
Electron acceptor catches and sends electrons
Energy from photons——->Electrons
takes place in Porhyren rings
(a) where chlorophyll absorbs light energy
(b) light sensitive
How are electrons Replaced?
H2O breakdown by Plastoquinone Pq and enzyme complex
2H2O—>4H+ +O2 + 4 e-
Electron transport chain ETC 1
Electrons go to Pq from there it goes to Cytochromes
Cytochromes CYT
Receives electrons from Pq
Pumps H+ protons from Stroma to Thylakoid space: powered by Electron movement
Plastocyanin
Sends E- to Photosystem I
