photosynthesis

Question 1

particle photon

Answer 1

smallst unit of lightehich osscilate on wavelengths

Question 2

the visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum

Answer 2

380-750n

Question 3

shortest wavelength

Answer 3

380n purple

Question 4

longest wavelength

Answer 4

750n red

Question 5

most effectively absorbed wavelengths

Answer 5

blue (500n) red (700n)

Question 6

pigments found in chloroplast

Answer 6

chlorophyll (green)
cartenoid (orange)
xantophyll (orange)
anthocynins (red)

Question 7

equation for photosynthesis

Answer 7

6CO2+ 6H2O—-> C6 H12 O6 + 6O2

Question 8

two stages of photosynthesis

Answer 8

1) light dependant reaction
2) calvin cycle

Question 9

light dependant reaction (simple)

Answer 9

happens in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast, requires sunlight and basically light energy is captured and tranformed into atp

Question 10

calvin cycle (simple)

Answer 10

happens in the stroma, does not require sunlight atp is used to create sugars (glucose) the plant will live and grow on

Question 11

thylakoids

Answer 11

disk like structure inside chloroplast that help absorb light, they contain chlorophyll and are bound to the chloroplast membrane

Question 12

grana

Answer 12

stacks of thylakoids inside chloroplasts

Question 13

stroma

Answer 13

fluid filled space surrounding the grana

Question 14

pigment

Answer 14

chemical molecules that absorb visible light
green is reflected
red and blue are easily absorbed

Question 15

light dependant reactions (mc)

Answer 15

1. photons of light get absorbed by chlorophyll in the thylakoids
   2.electrons which are in the pigment get excited and used to produce atp
   3.the displaced electrons are replaced by photolysis

Question 16

photolysis

Answer 16

process of splitting water (by sunlight) to produce atp electrons protons NADPH

Question 17

calvin cycle

Answer 17

light independant reaction
atp from light dependant reaction and CO2 are used to produce glucose

Question 18

what do light dependant reactions use light for

Answer 18

light dependant reactions use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis: ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH. In plants, the light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of organelles called chloroplasts

Question 19

equation for photolysis

Answer 19

H2O—>2H + 1/2O2

Question 20

chromatography

Answer 20

separating and identifying pigments

Question 21

rf

Answer 21

so like the distance moved by substance devided by the distance moved by solvent and you use it for identifying pigments
