photosynthesis Flashcards
what things are required for the calvin cycle
co2
ATP
nadph
what’s created as a result of the calvin cycle
G3P (glucose)
what’s the first step of the calvin cycle
co2 comes in and gets attached to RuBP by the enzyme rubisco. this starts the process of carbon fixation
what’s the second step of the calvin cycle
reduction, where nadp+ and ADP are produced and 6 sugars are made
what happens to the 6 sugars made in the step of reduction in the calvin cycle
1 is released and 5 are reused
what goes into the light DEPENDant reactions
light and h20
what comes out of the light DEPENDant reactions
oxygen Wich is a waste product,
nadph and ATP
what process splits the H20 in the thylakoid into other molecules
photolysis
what comes from h20
hydrogen, oxygen, and electrons
what goes into the light independent reactions
co2, ATP and nadph
what comes out of the light independent reactions
sugars, nadp+ and ADP
where does the calvin cycle occur
stroma
where does the light dependent reactions occur
thylakoid
whats a whole stack of thylakoid called
granum
what’s the whole In a leaf that regulate gas exchange
stoma
where does photosynthesis in the cell occur
chloroplasts
what’s the pigment that absorbs light and helps with photosynthesis
chlorophyll
what is oxidation
gain of electrons
what is reduction
loss of electrons
what is ATP synthase
an enzyme powered by hydrogen that helps produce ATP
is photosynthesis Endo or exo
Endothermic
what’s it called when Rubisco attaches RuBP to carbon to start the calvin cycle
carbon fixation
what is chemi osmosis
osmosis of MOLECULES from high to low. (Specifically in this case hydrogen atoms)
what is photolysis
splitting of water with light
