Photosynthesis

Question 1

Photosynthesis General Equation

Answer 1

Carbon Dioxide + Water –(light/chlorophyll)–> Glucose + Oxygen

Chemical Equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O —–> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Question 2

2 enzyme-controlled chemical pathways of Photosynthesis

Answer 2

Light dependent stage
Light independent stage

Question 3

Photosynthesis (general)

Answer 3

occurs in chloroplasts containing chlorophyll pigment.
- 2 main enzyme-controlled chemical pathways in which raw materials ( co2 and o2) are combined to produce glucose, (o2 released as waste product).
- Source of energy = light energy from the sun which initiates the reactions and is trapped by the chlorophyll.

Question 4

Light-dependent stage

Answer 4

Takes place on the Thylakoid membrane of the grana of chloroplasts.
