Photosynthesis Flashcards
Dark and light experiments
Raw Materials for photosynthesis?
CO2 From atmosphere H2O from soil radiant energy from the sun Chlorophyll in chloroplasts Enzymes
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Glucose (Stored as starch) and Oxygen ( waste )
definition of photosynthesis?
The process whereby CO2 and H2O are combined in the presence of chlorophyll and light energy to form energy-rich carbs. 02 is released as a by-product
Thylakoid
Photosynthetic membrane
Contains chlorophyll
Stroma
semiliquid that bathes inside of chloroplast
Contains enzymes for light phase
has ribosomes - making enzymes
Double membrane
permeable to 02, H2O, CO2 and glucose
Starch grain
store starch
Intergranum
Connects one granum to another
granum
a stack of thylakoidsm, + area for light absorption
Chloroplasts
organelle where photosynthesis takes place
Contain chlorophyll
Adaptations of leaves for light absorption
Lrage + flat area
cuticle + epidermis = transparent (light can enter)
Leaf is thin light go through
where does light phase and dark phase take place?
light phase (grana + light-dependent) dark phase (Stroma - light and dark phase (independent of light))
