Photosynthesis Flashcards
Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?
The stroma
What does chlorophyll do to green pigment?
Reflects it.
A molecule containing two high-energy phosphate bonds that may be formed by breaking one of the phosphate bonds in ATP.
ADP
A process where energy in electrons in released.
Electron Transport Chain.
Range of coloured lights wavelength.
380nm - 750nm.
What is the formula for Glucose?
C6H12O6
What does chorophyll do to red pigment?
It absorbs it
The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take energy from sunlight and convert it into stored chemical energy.
ATP and NADPH
A mutation occurs in the chloroplasts of a lettuce plant, causing its thylakoid membranes to become more permeable to charged ions.
How might this mutation affect the Calvin cycle?
Fewer carbohydrates would be produced by the Calvin cycle.
Photosynthesis can be divided into two steps: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
Which of the following correctly describes the overall process of the Calvin cycle?
ATP and NADPH produced by the light reactions are used by the Calvin cycle to make carbohydrates.
Photosynthesis can be divided into two steps: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
B
The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane, and the Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma.
