photosynthesis :(

Question 1

heterotrophs

Answer 1

eat other organisms

Question 2

autotrophs

Answer 2

make their own food

Question 3

What does chlorophyll do?

Answer 3

absorbs light energy

Question 4

whats stomata?

Answer 4

the opening things that take in CO2 and can let out water

Question 5

what happens to water during photosynthesis? (oxidized or reduced)

Answer 5

oxidized (loses e-)

Question 6

What happens to CO2? (oxidized or reduced)

Answer 6

reduced (gains e-)

Question 7

explain what happens in a photosystem

Answer 7

a photon of light is absorbed in the pigments which excite the e- found in the pigments. The e- bounces around until it is absorbed by chlorophyll a. The e- jumps up into the final e- acceptor which is then used in an ETC.

Question 8

Why is water split in photosystem II?

Answer 8

so that the electron can replace the ones lost from chlorophyll.

Question 9

What are the three steps of the Calvin cycle?

Answer 9

1. Carbon fixation
2. splitting of step 1
3. synthesizing RuBP

Question 10

explain carbon fixation

Answer 10

rubisco helps bind CO2 (starting compound) with RuBP (finishing compound) making a 6-Carbon compound

Question 11

Explain step 2 of the Calvin cycle

Answer 11

the 6-carbon compound gets split making phosphoglycerates and becomes G3P which makes sugar

Question 12

Explain the last step of the Calvin Cycle
