Chapter 8- Photosynthesis

Question 1

Photosynthesis

Answer 1

Converts solar energy into glucose (potential energy)

Question 2

Wavelengths

Answer 2

Gamma, x-rays, UV, visible light, infrared, microwaves, radio waves

Question 3

Chlorophyll

Answer 3

The green pigment in plants where photosynthesis takes place

Question 4

Mesophyll

Answer 4

Cells in plants where photosynthesis takes place

Question 5

Stroma

Answer 5

The opening that regulates gas exchange and water regulation between leaves and the environment

Question 6

Chloroplasts

Answer 6

Organelles in plants where photosynthesis takes place

Question 7

Granum

Answer 7

A stack of thylakoids located inside a chloroplasts

Question 8

Stroma

Answer 8

Fluid area inside a chloroplasts

Question 9

Thylakoids

Answer 9

system of membrane discs where all the photosystem proteins are that carry photosynthesis. Light reactions occur in thylakoid.

Question 10

Pigment

Answer 10

a molecule that is capable of absorbing light energy.

Question 11

PSII (Photosystem II)

Answer 11

after being charged by Light energy transfers e’s that move H ions into thylakoid space; this H ions then is used as power for synthase to make ATP.

Question 12

PSI

Answer 12

produces NADPH as e’s that move by electron transport and Light energy are used

Question 13

Light Reactions

Answer 13

first stage of photosynthesis where certain wavelengths of the visible light are absorbed to form two energy-carrying molecules (ATP and NADPH).

Question 14

The Carbon Reactions

Answer 14

second stage of photosynthesis; carbon dioxide is used to build glucose molecules using the energy from ATP and NADPH; occur in the stroma

Question 15

Rubisco

Answer 15

enzyme that uses CO2 to incorporate carbon into the Carbon reactions that will be used to make glucose.
