photosynthesis Flashcards
where do the electrons that travel through the ETC come from?
the chlorophyll molecule
is oxygen needed for photosynthesis?
no, it is given off as a byproduct
What is the flow of H+ in the electron transport chain of the light reaction.
they are being pumped across the thylakoid
What is the order of the photosystems and what is their function?
PSII comes first in the ETC flow then PSI. PSII oxidizes the water molecule, PSI transports electrons down a second chain
In what part of the chloroplast do the light dependent and light independent reactions happen.
the stroma
Leaf structure- what is mesophyll
makes up the interior of the cell
Leaf structure- what is the stomata
pores under the leaf that allow for gas exchange
Leaf structure- what are guard cells
cells that surround the stomata allowing it to open and close
Light- what is a photon
particle of light that has energy
Light- what colors are absorbed in photosynthesis
all colors but green
