Photosynthesis

Question 1

the process that converts solar energy into chemical energy that is used by biological systems; process that uses the sun’s energy to make simple sugars

Answer 1

photosynthesis

Question 2

organelle where photosynthesis takes place

Answer 2

chloroplast

Question 3

a fluid in chloroplast

Answer 3

stroma

Question 4

stacks of thylakoids

Answer 4

grana

Question 5

green pigment that captures light for photosynthesis

Answer 5

chlorophyll

Question 6

pores in a plant’s cuticle through which water and gases are exchanged between the plant and the atmosphere

Answer 6

stomata

Question 7

the first compartments in the chloroplasts; flattened, saclike membranes that are arranged in stacks; contain chlorophyll

Answer 7

thylakoids

Question 8

photosynthesis formula

Answer 8

6 CO2 + 6 H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Question 9

it uses the light coming from the sun to the process of photolysis; takes place in thylakoids

Answer 9

light dependent reaction

Question 10

involves two photosystems P680, P700; light dependent; involved in ATP and NADPH; involves photosystem I and II

Answer 10

non-cyclic photo phosphorylation

Question 11

steps in light dependent reactions

Answer 11

• light absorption
• breaking molecules
• electrons excite
• electrons help bond NADP+ and H+ to become NADPH
• hydrogen diffuse in stroma

Question 12

consists of cyclical series of reaction that use to assemble sugar molecules from CO2 and the products of light reactions

Answer 12

light independent reactions

Question 13

steps in light independent reactions

Answer 13

• carbon fixation
• reduction
• regeneration of carbon dioxide acceptor

Question 14

the process of carbon fixation is catalyzed by this enzyme

Answer 14

rubisco

Question 15

a new six-carbon molecule which splits in half to form two molecules with three-carbons each

Answer 15

3-phosphoglycerate

Question 16

involved in ATP; happens in photosystem I

Answer 16

cyclic photophosphorylation
