Photosynthesis

Question 1

Photosynthesis

Answer 1

Process of plant using sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

Question 2

What happens during photosynthesis

Answer 2

plants absorb carbon dioxide

Question 3

Autotrophs

Answer 3

Organisms that are capable of using their own energy by making glucose

Question 4

Net reaction of photosynthesis

Answer 4

6CO(2)+ 12H^(2)O – Light –> C(6)H(12)O(6) + 6O(2) + 6H(2)O

Question 5

Inputs of photosynthesis

Answer 5

Carbon dioxide, water, sunlight

Question 6

Products of photosynthesis

Answer 6

Glucose Oxygen, Water

Question 7

Chloroplasts

Answer 7

where photosynthesis take place

Question 8

Chlorophyll

Answer 8

light trapping pigment

Question 9

Thylakoid discs

Answer 9

flattened sacs of the membrane, where chlorophyll is found (one flat disc)

Question 10

Grana

Answer 10

stacked into structures

Question 11

Stroma

Answer 11

Surrounds the grana (the blank space)

Question 12

First stage of photosynthesis

Answer 12

Light-dependent phase: occurs in thylakoid membranes
- light is trapped and energy transferred to ATP
- Water is split into oxygen, released as a byproduct

Question 13

Second stage of photosynthesis

Answer 13

light-independent phase, also called Calvin cycle, occurs in stroma
- CO2 is fixed into glucose using hydrogen and energy from the light dependent phase
- water is produced

Question 14

Input and output of Light-dependent reaction

Answer 14

In: Water
Out: O2

Question 15

Input and Output of calvin cycle

Answer 15

In: CO2
Out: Glucose
