Chapter 8 - Photosynthesis Flashcards
Photo means=
Synthesis means =
Light, Build
Equation for photosynthesis
6H2O+6CO2+Light—→C6H12O6+6O2
water, carbon dioxide, light—→Sugars, oxygen
Carbon dioxide molecules enter thru _____, oxygen leaves through the same
stomata
Chloroplasts
responsible for carrying out photosynthesis
Mitochondria
Responsible for carrying out cellular respiration
Chlorophyll
Found in thylakoid, which is light absorbing pigment
Stroma
fluid inside chloroplasts, responsible for light-INDEPENDENT reactions (calvin cycle)
Lumen
fluid inside thylakoid (eventually produces energy for plant)
Photosynthesis is broken down in two stages, which are
Dependent and Independent reactions
NADP+
picks up those electrons, reduces it to NADPH
Reactants in Light Dependent Reactions
H2O, ADP, NADP
Same energy transferred by light is used to make ____ which coverts to _____
ADP, ATP (energy)
Light dependent reaction
oxidizes water into oxygen gas
Products in Light dependent reactions
oxygen, ATP, NADPH
What powers independent reaction
ATP
