Energy Flashcards
What does cellular respiration produce in what organelle is it in?
It produces ATP chemical energy and it it it is in the mitochondria.
What does light contain?
Energy
What is white like a mixture of?
Wavelengths of color.
Different wavelengths contain different amounts of what?
Energy
What the plants used to capture light energy?
Pigments
What do pigments do?
Pigments are any material that absorbs some light but reflects others.
What is the primary pigment in plants and what color does it reflect?
Chlorophyll and green
What colors does Clore Phil absorb most?
Red and yellow
What colors do chlorophyll absorbs the least?
Green and yellow
What is example of an accessory pigments and allows for even more light absorption?
Cartenoids
What color are carotenoids is usually?
They are usually red orange or yellow pigment
What is the chemical formula for glucose?
C6H12O6
Where does go to synthesis occur.?
It occurs within the chloroplasts of specialized cells within the leaves of plants.
Mesophyll cells
Specialized chloroplast containing cells which are found in green leaves.
Stromata
Pores in green leaves which allows leaves to change O2 and CO2 with the environment
Stroma
The liquid inside the chloroplast and it surrounds the thylakoid membranes
Grana
Stacks of thylakoid membrane’s
Thylakoid
Coin shape membranes
Is the purpose of photosynthesis
To make high-energy sugars
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis
CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2
Sunlight
Provides energy
CO2
Provides carbon
H2O
Provides electrons
EnZymes
Put everything together
Sugar
Stores energy
O2
Oxygen is a waste product
