Q

ATP can easily release and store energy by doing what?

A

By breaking down and re-forming the bonds between its phosphate groups. This characteristic makes it exceptionally useful as a basic energy source for all cells

24
photosynthetic organisms capture energy from sunlight with what?
Pigment
25
the plants principle pigment. Give plants their green color. Found in clusters
Chlorophyll
26
There are two types of Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b
27
where photosynthesis occurs. Are interconnected and arranged stacks known as granum
Thylakoid
28
the fluid portion of the chloroplast
Stroma
29
connects granum together
Stroma Lamella
30
chlorophyll absorbs what
Visible light. When it absorbs light, a large fraction of that light energy is transferred directly to electrons in the chlorophyll molecule
31
What does photosynthesis do?
Plants use carbon dioxide+water=sugar+oxygen
32
Chemical Equation of Photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O-->C6H12O6 +6O
33
Chemical Equation of Photosynthesis in words
Carbon Dioxide + Water--> Sugars+Oxygen
34
Sugar is what? | Oxygen is what?
Sugar=product | Oxygen=byproduct
35
anything produce in the course of making another thing
By product
36
Photosynthesis occurs in two stages
Light dependent and Light independent
37
light reaction. Requires the direct involvement of light and light absorbing pigments. Use energy from the sunlight to produce energy-rich compounds (ATP) First Step: when ATP/NADPH is made
Light Dependent
38
Light Dependent takes place where
In the thylakoid membrane
39
electron carrier molecule; carries it in a form of a hydrogen molecule
NADPH
40
Calvin Cycle. Is used to produce high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide Second/Final Step: when the sugar/oxygen is made
Light independent
41
plants use the energy that ATP and NADPH contains to build stable high-energy carbohydrate compounds that can be stored for a long time
Calvin Cycle
42
Where does light independent occurs where?
Stroma
43
accepts and holds 2 high-energy electrons, along with a hydrogen ion. This converts NADP to NADPH
NADP
44
can carry the high-energy electrions that were produced by light absorption in chlorophyll to chemical reactions in the cell
NADPH
45
are chlorophyll found in clusters. It is where light is absorbed
Photosystem
46
electron transport system
ETS
47
embedded protein that make up ETS
Cytochrome
48
thylakoid membrane contains a protein. it spans the membrane and allows H ions to pass through it
ATP Synthase
49
General structure is found where?
Cytoplasm
50
Named the Calvin Cycle after him
Melvin Cycle
51
combines with carbon dioxides and becomes a 6 carbon molecule, which splits into 2-PGA
RUBP
52
phosphoglyerate
PGA
53
phophoglyeraldehyd
G3P
54
Whats the differs between PGA and G3P?
What's attached to it
55
prevents water from escaping
Cuticle
56
the space in between the upper and lower epidermis. Aids in the gas exchange
Mesophyll
57
Contains chloroplast and the main cells that carry out photosynthesis
Palisade Cell
58
Major site of photosynthesis
Spongy Layer
59
carries water and nutrients from the plant
Xylem
60
carries products of photosynthesis
Phloem
61
covers up the xylem and phloem
Vascular Bundle
62
What's the end result of the Clavin Cycle?
Sugar
63
What molecule is used to make sugar?
Carbon Dioxide
64
What are the factors that affect photosynthesis?
Temperature, Light, Water
65
When it's above or below may affect those enzymes, slowing down the rate of photosynthesis
Temperature
66
high light intensity reaches a certain level, however the plant reaches its maximum rate of photosynthesis
Light
67
is one raw material of photosynthesis, a shortage of water can slow or even stop photosynthesis
Water
68
have a specialized chemical pathway that allows them to capture even very low levels of carbon dioxide and pass it to the Calvin cycle. The name comes from the fact that the first compound formed in this pathways contains 4 carbon atoms
C4 Plants
69
Examples of C4 Plants
Corn, Sugar cane, and sorghum
70
plants adapted to dry climates use a different strategy to obtain carbon dioxide while minimizing water loss. Admit air into their leaves only at night
CAM Plant
71
Examples of CAM Plant
Cacti, pineapple, ice plants
72
This trapping at night prevents water loss
CO2
73
Where does the Carbon Dioxide come from?
From the air, people coughing, animals, the burning of fossil fuels
74
during the day they produce sugar by photosynthesis and at night the process is reversed and stomate closes
Guard cells
75
allows carbon dioxide into the leaf. transpiration is the loss of water a leaf
Stomate
76
allow light to pass through and prevents water loss
Upper epidermis
77
prevents transportation | Transpiration: lose of water
Lower Epidermis
