Flash- CARDS

Question 1

ADP

Answer 1

Adenosine di- phosphate

Question 2

Chemosynthesis

Answer 2

In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon molecules and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis.

Question 3

Photosynthesis

Answer 3

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms’ activities.

Question 4

Autotroph

Answer 4

An autotroph or producer, is an organism that produces complex organic compounds from simple substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light or inorganic chemical reactions.

Question 5

Atp

Answer 5

Adenosine tri-phosphate

Question 6

How are Atp an adp related?

Answer 6

ATP and ADP play similar roles in cellular respiration. ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate, and ADP stands for Adenosine Diphosphate. ADP is the result of a loss of one phospate from ATP during glycolysis.

Question 7

Can atp release or store energy?

Answer 7

Atp stores energy

Question 8

Can adp release energy or store it?

Answer 8

Releases it

Question 9

What are three parts of chloroplast?

Answer 9

Two membranes contain and protect the inner parts of the chloroplast. They are appropriately named the outer and inner membranes. The inner membrane surrounds the stroma and the grana (stacks of thylakoids). One thylakoid stack is called a granum.

Question 10

Why are the colors found in the rainbow able to separate?

Answer 10

Different wavelengths

Question 11

Explain what pigments are

Answer 11

Pigments: Pigments are “molecules that absorb specific wavelengths (energies) of light and reflect all others.” Pigments are colored: the color we see is the net …

Question 12

Explain what chlorophyll is

Answer 12

Chlorophyll is a chemical found in the chloroplasts of plants that allows the plant to absorb light. Energy from the light is used in photosynthesis to make glucose.

Question 13

What colors of light does chlorophyll absorb?

Answer 13

Answer 1: Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue and red but poorly in the green portions of the electromagnetic spectrum; hence the green color of chlorophyll-containing tissues such as plant leaves. The green portion of the solar spectrum is reflected not absorbed.

Question 14

What happens to the colors of light that chlorophyll does not absorb?

Answer 14

It deflects the color off which gives the object its color..

Question 15

What are the two stages of photosynthesis?

Answer 15

Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions). Light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, use light energy to make ATP and NADPH.

Question 16

Where in the chloroplast does the Calvin cycle occur?

Answer 16

Both parts of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast. A. The Calvin Cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts. 1. The Calvin cycle is a series of reactions which accomplish the fixation of carbon dioxide and its reduction to carbohydrate.

Question 17

Where in the chloroplast does the light reactions occur?

Answer 17

The chloroplast is involved in both stages of photosynthesis. The light reaction takes place in the thylakoid discs. There, water (H20) is oxidized, and oxygen (O2) is released. The electrons freed up from water are transfered to ATP and NADPH.

Question 18

What are the products of the light reactions?

Answer 18

Before we begin on how the light reactions work, let’s remind ourselves of the products and reactants for photosynthesis. In this process, remember that light energy, carbon dioxide, and water are used to produce glucose, or sugar, and oxygen.

Question 19

What are the products of the Calvin cycle?

Answer 19

The main product of the Calvin Cycle is. NADPH. Oxygen. Glucose. Carbon dioxide.

Question 20

What are the reactants of light reactions?

Answer 20

water and energy

Question 21

What are the reactants of the Calvin cycle?

Answer 21

Calvin cycle. Calvin cycle. Second stage of photosynthesis in which carbon atoms from carbon dioxide are combined, using the energy in ATP and NADPH

Question 22

Where does the ATP and NADPH created in the light reactions go next?

Answer 22

Stroma…..
