17
Q

What does chemical energy use to produce glucose?

18
Q

Where do Light independent reactions occur?

19
Q

what energy does light independent reactions use?

A

chemical energy (ATP,NADPH)

20
Q

what does chlorophyll do in photosystem 2?

A

harnesses light energy into electrons

21
Q

what do the electrons do after being carried to etc in photosystem 2?

A

splitting of water replaces e-, releases H+ to thylakoid,and releases O2

22
Q

ETC

A

e- drops off energy moving through the ETC

23
Q

do H+ ions get pumped from low to high, or high to low?

A

low to high

24
Q

how can H+ get passes back through?

A

ATP synthase

25
photosystem 1
e- are reenergized by sunlight and then 2 are added to NADP+ along with a H+ making NADPH
26
what is the light independent reaction known as?
Calvin cycle
27
Calvin cycle
utilizes resources from light dependent reactions and environment
28
carbon fixation
energy is uses to assemble C,H,O into glucose
29
where in ATP is most of the energy located
in the bond between the last 2 phosphate groups
30
what organelle does photosynthesis occur in
chloroplast
31
what gas is produced in photosynthesis
oxygen
32
what is the main pigment in green plants?
chlorophyll
