Chloroplasts:

Question 1

What are chloroplasts?

Answer 1

= Organelles were photosynthesis takes place.

Question 2

What happens during photosynthesis?

Answer 2

= energy from light used to react carbon dioxide with water to form oxygen and glucose
= energy trapped from photosynthesis is contained within the chemical bonds within the glucose molecule

Question 3

What is the membrane of chloroplast like?

Answer 3

= double membrane
= controns the molecules that enter and leave the chloroplast.

Question 4

What are thylakoids?

Answer 4

= membrane-bound flatened discs
= where light dependant reactions take place
= contains chlorophyll and enzymes needed for light dependant reactions

Question 5

What is a stack of thylakoids called?

Answer 5

= granum

Question 6

How does stacking the thylakoids make an influence?

Answer 6

= light can be absorbed more efficiently

Question 7

How are thylakoids on different granum connected to eachother?

Answer 7

= flatenned membranes
= lamelle
= plays a role in light dependant reaction by allowing chemicals to pass between the granums

Question 8

What is the fluid called?

Answer 8

= stroma
= light independStrant reactions take place
= contains the enzymes for light independant reactions

Question 9

What is starch stored in the chloroplasts as?

Answer 9

= starch granules

Question 10

What else does chloroplasts contain?

Answer 10

= loop of dna
= contains genes for encoding of proteins needed for photosynthesis
= ribosomes
