Chapter 8: Photosynthesis

Question 1

Where do plants get the energy they need to produce food?

Answer 1

They get their energy from the sun.

Question 2

What is the role of ATP in cells?

Answer 2

Atp stands for Adenosine Triphosphate
ATP is used for energy within cells.

Question 3

How do ADP & ATP differ in structure? …in function?

Answer 3

ATP uses to store energy, used for active transport, protein synthesis, and muscle contractions
ADP

Question 4

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Answer 4

6CO2 + 6H2O —– 02 + C6H12O6
Carbon dioxide + Water—yield—Oxygen + Glucose

Question 5

Describe the roles of light and chlorophyll in photosynthesis.

Answer 5

Chlorophyll takes away from the light and makes it into the color.

Question 6

What are the two major sets of reactions within photosynthesis?

Answer 6

Light dependent reactions & Calvin Cycle

Question 7

Where does each process take place?

Answer 7

Light dependent reactions = Thylakoid membrane
Calvin cycle = Stroma

Question 8

What are the reactants and products of light-dependent reactions?

Answer 8

Uses energy from the light to produce ATP and NADPH

Question 9

What are the reactants and products of the Calvin Cycle? Hint: Review Fig. 8-7

Answer 9

The calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH from the light dependent reactions to produce high energy sugars.

Question 10

Glucose stores ______ more than ATP

Answer 10

90x
