lesson 10

Question 1

photosynthesis

Answer 1

6 CO2 + 12 H2O + light -> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2

Question 2

chloroplasts and mitochondria form an energy cycle

Answer 2

photosynthesis uses products of respiration as starting substrate
vise versa

Question 3

light depdentent reactions

Answer 3

-require light
-occcur in the thylakoid
-capture energy from sunlight
-make ATP and reduce NADP+ to NADPH
-produce O2 as a by product

Question 4

light independent reactions (carbon fixation)

Answer 4

does not require light
occur in the stroma
use ATP and NADPH to synthesize organic molecules from CO2

Question 5

ATP is produced via Chemiosmosis

Answer 5

ATP synthase uses proton gradient to provide energy for ATP synthesis

Question 6

light independent reactions (calvin cycle)

Answer 6

carbon fixation:
uses ATP as enrgysource
uses NADPH as source of protons and electrons
converts inorganic CO2 into organic carbphydrates

Question 7

calvin cycle

Answer 7

1.carbon fixation:
RuBP + Co2-> 2 PGA
uses rubisco
2. reduction:
PGA is reduced to G3P
3. regeneration of RuBP
G3P used to regenerate RuBP
3 turns to produce new G3P
6 turns for 1 glucose molecule
