Photosynthesis

Question 1

Photosynthesis

Answer 1

The reverse reaction of glucose. 6CO2 + 6O2 -> C6H12O6

Question 2

What is used for biosynthesis of Carbohydrates

Answer 2

NADPH. Not traded in for ATP.

Question 3

Where does photosynthesis take place?

Answer 3

Thylakoid Lumen in Chloroplasts of plants.

Question 4

Where is Chlorophyll Stored?

Answer 4

Thylakoid lumen in chloroplasts

Question 5

What gets oxidized in photosynthesis?

Answer 5

Water gets oxidized to O2

Question 6

Light Reactions: where do they take place?

Answer 6

Thylakoid

Question 7

Between the stroma and lumen, which has a higher H+ concentration?

Answer 7

Lumen

Question 8

What is the best wavelength of light for absorption in PSII in light reactions?

Answer 8

680 nm

Question 9

For light reation, where does light play a role?

Answer 9

PSI and PSII

Question 10

Light reaction in general

Answer 10

PSII + light—-PQ—-Cytchr Ble—-PC—-PSI + light——Fd—–FNR

Question 11

What is the best wavelength of light for absorption in PS! in light reactions?

Answer 11

700nm

Question 12

Where is water converted to O2 (oxidized) in light reaction?

Answer 12

PSII. O2 first, NADPH last (opposite ETC)

Question 13

PSII and PSI use what to make ATP?

Answer 13

ATP synthase. Then makes NADPH/ATP

Question 14

Dark Reactions

Answer 14

Also called the Calvin Cycle. It is Carbon Fixation.

Question 15

Two times through the dark reaction produces what?

Answer 15

Glucose

Question 16

three times through the dark reaction produces what?

Answer 16

6 Glyceraldehyde-3-PH (5 used just to keep the cycle going), 3 ribulose-1,5-biphosphate, 6 3-phosphoglycerate

Question 17

What keeps the dark reaction going?

Answer 17

RubisCo

Question 18

What is the most abundant enzyme on the planet?

Answer 18

RubisCo

Question 19

If Glyceraldehyde-3-PH goes through anabolism

Answer 19

Carbohydrates

Question 20

If Glyceraldehyde-3-PH goes through catabolism

Answer 20

Glycolysis
