Photosynthesis Flashcards
Life on Earth is?
solar powered
The process of coverting light energy into chemical energy is called?
Photosynthesis
It is the greenish pigment found inside the chloroplast.
Chlorophyll
What are the lights absorbs by chlorophyll?
Blue and red light
Where does photosynthesis occurs?
Chloroplasts
All energy on the Earth comes from the?
Sun
It is a common form of a chemical reaction where water is used to break down the chemical bonds.
Hydrolysis
Cell in organism obtain energy from?
Chemical bonds that hold together certain organic compounds
The 3 phosphate groups in ATP molecule are?
Negatively charged
The 3 phosphate groups are placed?
In an unstable arrangement
The remaining free phosphate group and low-energy molecule is called?
Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)
ADP is represented as?
ATP+H20->ADP+Pi+Energy
Organisms capable of making their own food
Autotrophs
Plants are?
Photoautotrophs
Uses light energy from the sun to produce glucose
Autotrophs
What are the two types of autotrophs?
Photosynthetic & Chemosynthetic Autotrophs
It is a type of autotrophs that uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
Photosynthetic Autotrophs
It is a type of autotrophs that releases oxygen
Photosynthetic Autotrophs
It is type of autotrophs that obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic substances and uses that energy to convert CO2 into inorganic compounds.
Chemosynthetic Autotrophs
It is a type of autotrophs that can occur in environment w/o sunlight.
Chemosynthetic Autotrophs
Organisms that are not capable of making their own food.
Heterotrophs
They must eat plants or other animals that consume plants to acquire indirectly the energy from the sun.
Heterotrophs
What are the types of heterotrophs?
Herbivores, Carnivores, Omnivores, Detritivores, Saprotrophs, Parasites, Scavengers
It is a type of heterotrophs that eat plants.
Herbivores
