MOD 10: PHOTOSYNTHESIS Flashcards
● Sum of all the INTERRELATED BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES that take place in a living organism
● ENERGY REQUIRING reaction
METABOLISM
● BUILD UP of molecules
ANABOLISM
● BREAKDOWN of molecules
CATABOLISM
what type of metabolism reaction is PHOTOSYNTHESIS
ANABOLIC
what type of metabolism reaction is CELLULAR RESPIRATION
CATABOLIC
● Process in which electrons TRANSFER ENERGY from one form to another
OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTION
LOSS of one or more electrons
OXIDATION
GAIN of one or more electrons
REDUCTION
SUBSTANCE that GAINS electrons
OXIDIZING AGENT
SUBSTANCE that LOSES electrons
REDUCING AGENT
FORMULA NG PHOTOSYNTHESIS
6CO2 + 12 H20 —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
PHOTO means
LIGHT
SYNTHESIS means
PUTTING TOGETHER
PHOTOSYNTHESIS means
PUTTING TOGETHER WITH LIGHT
● It is a process by which PLANTS MANUFACTURE THEIR OWN FOOD when
they ABSORB LIGHT ENERGY
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
It causes CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER to chemically COMBINE. FORMING GLUCOSE and EXCRETING OXYGEN into the atmosphere
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
anong nagcocombine sa photosynthesis
CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER
PRODUCT ng photosynthesis
GLUCOSE AND OXYGEN
● It is an anabolic, endergonic, Carbon dioxide requiring process
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
○ Uses light energy and water to produce Organic macromolecules (Stored as Carbohydrates)
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
→ gets energy from “SELF”
○ Use LIGHT ENERGY to synthesize
organic molecules
- organisms that CAN MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD
AUTOTROPHS
→ gets energy from EATING OTHERS
○ Consumes organic molecules
- organisms that CANNOT PRODUCE THEIR OWN FOOD
HETEROTROPHS
● Site of Photosynthesis
CHLOROPLAST
CHLOROPLAST contains
STROMA
GRANA
THYLAKOIDS
■ FLUID inside the chloroplast
STROMA
■ STACK OF THYLAKOIDS
GRANA
■ CONTAINS THE CHLOROPHYLL
THYLAKOIDS
● GREEN PIGMENT that captures
light for photosynthesis
CHLOROPLAST
2 STAGES OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
LIGHT DEPENDENT
LIGHT INDEPENDENT (CALVIN CYCLE)
● REQUIRES LIGHT
● Involves the HARNESSING OF LIGHT ENERGY
● Occurs in the GRANA (Thylakoid
membrane)
● Byproducts:
○ ATP, NADPH, OXYGEN
LIGHT DEPENDENT REACTION
LIGHT DEPENPENDET REACTION occurs in the
GRANA
BYPRODUCTS OF LIGHT DEPENDENT
ATP
NADPH
OXYGEN
LIGHT DEPENDENT is also referred to as
LIGHT REACTIONS
During the light dependent reactions:
1. Water molecules are ____
SPLIT APART
During the light dependent reactions:
1. when the water molecules are split apart, they release _____
ELECTRONS AND HYDROGEN GAS
