Photosynthesis

Question 1

Photosynthesis forms energy by

Answer 1

Photosynthesis

Captures energy from light turns into organic molecules

Question 2

what is Photoautotrophs

Answer 2

use light as a
source of energy to synthesize
organic molecules

Question 3

what is Chemoautotrophs

Answer 3

use 
inorganic energy sources such 
as hydrogen sulfide, elemental 
sulfur, ferrous iron, molecular 
hydrogen, and ammonia

Question 4

what are Autotrophs

Answer 4

self feeders

Question 5

what are Heterotrophs

Answer 5

other feeders, do not get energy from ligh

Question 6

where does Photosynthesis occurs in

Answer 6

chloroplasts

Question 7

What are Mesophyll cells and the stroma

Answer 7

Receive water, and little door ways that can let gasses in and out

Question 8

Photosynthesis as a redox reaction

Answer 8

Endergonic and Not spontaneous (requires energy). 6 carbon +6 hydrogen +light energy.

Question 9

Cellular respiration as a redox reaction

Answer 9

Basically reversed photosyntesis redox reaction

Question 10

The “photo” part

Answer 10

light reactions. h2o source of electrons and proteins. ATP- chemical energy. NADPH- reducing power

Question 11

The “synthesis”part

Answer 11

Calvin cycle

Question 12

what happens to oxygen in “photo” part

Answer 12

oxygen become oxidized

Question 13

whats happens to carbon

Answer 13

carbon becomes reduced

Question 14

what is NADP+

Answer 14

electron carrier in photosynthesis

Question 15

porphyrin ring purpose in harvesting light energy

Answer 15

light-absorbing head of molecule; magnesium atom center

Question 16

Hydrocarbon tail purpose

Answer 16

interacts with hydrophobic regions of proteins in thylakoid membranes

Question 17

what are photons and wavelengths

Answer 17

light behaves in particle-like photons. the shorter the wavelength the greater the energy of each photon

Question 18

what is Chlorophyll b

Answer 18

absorbs light energy, has carbonyl group

Question 19

what is Chlorophyll a

Answer 19

chlorophyll a is the primary pigment of photosynthesis. It’s responsible for absorbing light in the orange to red and violet to blue spectrum that provides the energy

Question 20

what are Carotenoids

Answer 20

pigmants that are produced by plants and algae

Question 21

what happens when a Chlorophyll molecule absorbs a photon of light

Answer 21

one of the molecules electrons get elevated to where it has more potential energy

Question 22

what is a photosystem

Answer 22

complex where chlorophyll molecules are organized with other small molecules

Question 23

what is the photoystem composed of

Answer 23

reaction center complex. light-harvesting complexes.

Question 24

what is reaction-center complex

Answer 24

holds chlorophyll

a and the primary electron acceptor.

Question 25

what is the primary electron acceptor

Answer 25

is a molecule
capable of accepting electrons and becoming
reduced

Question 26

what is ight-harvesting complex

Answer 26

hold pigment
molecules bound to proteins that allow plant
to harvest light over larger area and larger
part of visible spectrum. They are the
antennae for the reaction center complex.

Question 27

what is Linear electron flow

Answer 27

Energy is transferred as electrons move through

the photosystems and other molecules in the thylakoid membrane.

Question 28

The Calvin Cycle components

Answer 28

Carbon enters the Calvin
cycle as CO2and leaves in the form of sugar. cycle expends ATP as an energy source and consumes NADPH adding high potential-energy electrons to make the sugar

Question 29

what is Carbon fixation

Answer 29

Carbon fixation is the process of incorporating CO2into organic material
