Chloroplast Flashcards
1
Q
Where is chlorophyll found ?
A
within the thylakoids
2
Q
What are thylakoids
A
disk shaped structures that contains pigments such as chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
Contain energy in making ATP
Split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen
3
Q
Why does Chloroplast have starch granules
A
IT’s a way of storing carbohydrates within the organelle since it’s a polysaccharide.
4
Q
Is the Calvin cycle a thermally controlled reaction ? True or False
A
False it’s an enzyme controlled reaction and is in the second stage of photosynthesis
5
Q
How many stages of photosynthesis are there ?
A
2 stages
1) where light energy is absorbed and product are made (ATP, oxygen and hydrogen)
2) Converts CO2 into sugars then starch.
