photosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
equation for aerobic respiration
A
C(6)H(12)O(6) + 6O(2) = 6CO(2) + 6H(2)O + energy
2
Q
equation for photosynthesis
A
6CO(2) + 6H(2)O + sunlight = C(6)H(12)O(6) + 6O(2)
3
Q
where does photosynthesis occur
A
chloroplast
4
Q
where does cellular respiration occur
A
mitochondria
5
Q
why are most plants green
A
chlorophyll. it is a pigment found in the chloroplast of a plant that used for photosynthesis. it reflects green light and therefore makes most plants appear green.
6
Q
2 major reactions in the chloroplast
A
light dependant reaction (in the thylakoids). light independent reaction/ calvin cycle
7
Q
ATP
A
is the product of the light dependant reaction in which light is converted into chemical energy AKA ATP
8
Q
what is ATP used for
A
atp is converted into glucose
