chloroplast Flashcards
why is the chloroplast green
because chlorophyll is present
what is in the STROMA
THYLAKOIDS
what is a GRANUM?
stack of THYLAKOIDS
GRANUM is connected with
LAMELLA
what is the STROMA?
fluid that everything else is floating around in
WHERE does a light-dependent reaction take place?
thylakoid membrane which contain chlorophyll
WHERE does a light- independent take place?
Occur in the stroma
what does CHLOROPHYLL DO?
capture light energy
what is the difference between light-dependent vs light-independent reactions?
light dependent uses sunlight, light-independent uses ATP
how does TEMPERATURE affect the rate of photosynthesis
the enzymes which catalyse photosynthesis
how does LIGHT INTENSITY affect the rate of photosynthesis
more light = faster photosynthesis
C02 is COMBINE WITH (……) to create GLUCOSE
HYDROGEN
LIGHT ENERGY BREAKS DOWN WATER INTO
oxygen and hydrogen
what microscope is needed to see interior of chloroplast?
electron microscope
how many membranes in a chloroplast
TWO
