Photosynthesis

Question 1

Metabolism

Answer 1

All chemical reactions in a cell

Question 2

Metabolic Pathway

Answer 2

The product of one reaction is the substrate for the next reaction

Question 3

Catabolic

Answer 3

Release of energy by breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones

Question 4

Anabolic

Answer 4

Uses energy released by catabolic pathways to build larger molecules from smaller one

Question 5

Photosynthesis equation

Answer 5

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light —> C6 H12 O6 + 6 O6

Question 6

Cellular Respiration equation

Answer 6

C6 H12 O6 + 6 O6 —> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

Question 7

Photosynthesis Defenition

Answer 7

The process by which autotrophs make food

Question 8

Cellular Respiration

Answer 8

The process by which autotroph/heterotrophs use the product of photosynthesis to make energy

Question 9

ATP

Answer 9

Most important biological molecule providing energy

Question 10

Electron transport - Step 1

Answer 10

Light excites electrons and also causes a water molecule to split releasing an electron into the electron transport system.

Question 11

Electron Transport - Step 2

Answer 11

Activated electrons are passed from one molecule to another molecule along the membrane.

Question 12

Electron Transport - Step 3

Answer 12

Electrons get transferred to a protein called Ferrodoxin.

Question 13

Electron Transport - Step 4

Answer 13

Ferrodoxin transfers electrons to the electron carrier NADP+, forming the energy - stored molecule NADPH.

Question 14

2 products of Electron Transport

Answer 14

ATP and NADPH (used in phase 2)

Question 15

Chemiosmosis

Answer 15

The mechanism by which ATP is produced as a result of the flow of ions down a concentration gradient.

Question 16

What provides the H+ for ATP in chemiosmosis?

Answer 16

The breaking down of water.

Question 17

What does that the H+ do when it is released from the water molecule?

Answer 17

They start to accumulate on the interior of the membrane creating a concentration gradient. They will diffuse through channels (ATP synthase) to the stroma. (ATP is formed as a result)

Question 18

What does the O2 do when released from the water molecule?

Answer 18

It diffuses through the membrane.

Question 19

Where does the Calvin cycle happen?

Answer 19

Stroma

Question 20

Is the Calvin Cycle light dependent or independent?

Answer 20

Independent

Question 21

Is Electron Transport light dependent or independent?

Answer 21

Dependent

Question 22

Calvin Cycle - Step 1

Answer 22

6 carbon dioxide combine with six 5-carbon compounds (RuBP), forming twelve 3-carbon molecules.

Question 23

The Calvin Cycle - Step 2

Answer 23

The energy stored in NADPH and ATP are transferred to the 3 PGA molecules to form high - energy molecules called G3P

Question 24

The Calvin Cycle - Step 3

Answer 24

Two G3P molecules leave the cycle to be used for the production of Glucose and other organic compounds.

Question 25

The Calvin Cycle - Step 4

Answer 25

An enzyme, Rubisco, converts the remaining G3P molecules into 5-carbon molecules. (RuBP) These molecules combine with new carbon dioxide molecules to continue the cycle.

Question 26

Carbon Fixation

Answer 26

The joining of carbon with other organic molecules.
