Lab 11, Photosynthesis Flashcards
Module 2
Aerobic Cellular Respiration
gluclose to ATP
Equation
CO2+ 6H2O + LIGHT –> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Light reaction start end location
thylakoid membrane
starts: 6h2o + sunlight
ends: 6o2+ 12ATP + 12NADPH
Calvin ( dark) reaction, start end location
chloroplast
starts: 6co2+ 12ATP+ NADPH ( light)
ends: C6H12O6

What do pigments do with light energy
Absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy
The primary pigments in photosynthesis are
Chrolophyll A and B
Why are some pigments known as accessory pigments
They assist in. capturing energy_______________
The accessory pigments in photosynthesis are
carotene and xanthophyll_
During which season might we see accessory pigments
fall season, chrolphyll breaks dow
What will you use paper chromatography for in this lab
Seperate and identify the different pigments present in leaves
Colors for :
Carotene
Xanthophyll
Chlorophyll A
Chlorophyll B
Orange, yellow, blue-green, yellow-green
What is the formula for Rf ?
Distance traveled by the pigment / Distance traveled by the solvent front
If a plant is absorbing CO2, what would you assume it is using the CO2 for
Photosynthesis, converted to glucose
