Q

Where is CO2 and O2 found in our environment ?

A

19
Q

Photosynthesis typically occurs in what type of organism ?

20
Q

What type of energy is used in photosynthesis

A

Light energy

21
Q

What is the overall purpose of photosynthesis

A

To make food and oxygen

22
Q

In cellular respiration where is the chemical energy released from and what is it transferred to ?

A

Released from glucose and transferred to ATP molecules

23
Q

Metabolic processes that require energy

24
Fermentation
Combination of glycolysis & additional pathways to regenerate NADP+
25
3 starting materials of cellular respiration
Glucose oxygen and adp
26
3 end products of cellular respiration
Carbon dioxide water and energy
27
Without ______ cellular respiration wouldn't happen
Glycolysis
28
Glucose is big so what happens?
Breaks in half ( 2 3 carbon sugars )
29
What is the activation energy in photosynthesis ?
ATP and nadph
30
How does ATP release high energy chemical bond?
By removing phosphate & becoming adp | ATP -> ADP + P
31
What happens in the winter for plants ?
Chlorophyll production slows as trees shut down and photosynthesis stops for the winter so we can see the carotenoid colors that are usually covered by the chlorophyll
32
2 types of chlorophyll
Chlorophyll A & B Chlorophyll a - absorbs red and violet & little blue B- red and blue That's why greens reflected
33
Why do plants have other pigments ?
Help absorb some wavelengths chlorophyll cannot ; plant can make use of suns energy
34
Thylakoid
Sac like photosynthetic membranes inside chloroplast
35
Granum
Stack of thylakoids
36
Storma
Like the cytoplasm . It's what surrounds the chloroplast inside
37
Grana
Single thylakoid
38
Proteins that are part of the thylakoid membrane organize what into clusters called what?
Grana, granum
39
Molecule that carries high energy electrons
Nadp+
40
Molecule that carries energy
ATP
41
ATP high energy electrons special carrier
Nadph cells use this to transport high energy electrons
42
Light dependent reactions require what ?
Light energy
43
What does light dependent reactions use light energy to change ?
Adp + P -> ATP NADP+ +2e- + H+ -> NADPH Breaks apart water molecules and releases electrons
44
Where does light independent reaction occur ?
Storms
45
Where does the dependent reaction occur
Thylakoid
