Photosynthesis

Question 0

Heterotroph

Answer 0

Obtain their energy from the foods they consume.

Question 1

Autotroph

Answer 1

Create their own energy using light or chemical energy(chemosynthetic bacteria).

Question 2

Thylakoid

Answer 2

Coin shaped compartments.

Question 3

Granum

Answer 3

A stack of Thylakoids.

Question 4

Stroma

Answer 4

The space outside the Granum.

Question 5

Chloroplast

Answer 5

The organelles where photosynthesis takes place.

Question 6

Chlorophyll

Answer 6

A molecule in chloroplasts that absorb some of the energy in light. Chlorophyll does not absorb green light.

Question 7

Light Dependent Reaction

Answer 7

Chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight,The energy is broken down in the thylakoids membrane. H2O molecules are broken down and O2 is released. Energy is transformed into ATP.

Question 8

Light Independent Reactions

Answer 8

Use energy from Light dependent reactions to make sugars. Happens in the stromas of chloroplasts. CO2 is used to build larger molecules. Glucose is formed.

Question 9

Chemosynthesis

Answer 9

The process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of light energy.
