Photosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
photosynthesis
A
- convert light energy -> chemical energy
- 6CO2 + 6H2O + photons -> CH12O6 + 6O2
= CO2 + water + light = sugar + O2
2
Q
1st step in photosynthesis
A
- light-dependent reaction
- gets energy from sun absorbed by chlorophyll
= ATP + NADPH (reduced from NADH)
3
Q
2nd step in photosynthesis
A
- light-independent reaction (calvin cycle)
- energy from ATP + NADPH
- converts inorganic -> organic
- compounds -> forms !carbohydrates (glucose)
4
Q
where does photosynthesis take place?
A
- chloroplasts in leaves
5
Q
reproduction in photosynthesis
A
male : stamen contains male pollen in anther
female: pollen goes to stigma -> style - > ovary
