Photosynthesis

Question 1

What are Photosystems

Answer 1

clusters of chlorophyll in the thylakoids

Question 2

What happens during the light-dependent reaction?

Answer 2

The light-dependent reactions use energy from sunlight
Split Water
Make oxygen
Turn NADP+ into NADPH
Turn ADP into ATP

Question 3

What is a electron transport chain

Answer 3

A group of proteins that move electrons.

A Machine in Light Dependent Reactions

Question 4

ATP synthase

Answer 4

An enzyme that allows H+ ions to pass through it to make ATP

Question 5

Calvin cycle

Answer 5

Same thing at light independent reactions.

Carbon dioxide turns into sugar/glucose.

Uses ATP and NADPH

Occurs in the StRoma

Question 6

What happens during the light-independent reaction.

Answer 6

ATP and NADPH (from the light-dependent reaction) and CO2 are used to produce high-energy sugars.

Question 7

What some factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis

Answer 7

1. temperature
2. light intensity
3. availability of water

Question 8

Why is ATP useful to cells

Answer 8

ATP can easily release and store energy by breaking and reforming the bonds between its phosphate groups. This characteristic of ATP makes it exceptionally useful as a basic energy source for all cells.

Question 9

Adenosine triphosphate is used by…

Answer 9

Is used by cells to store and release energy

Question 10

ATP is an abbreviation for

Answer 10

Adenosine triphosphate

Question 11

Heterotrophs are

Answer 11

Organisms that obtain food by consuming other living things

Question 12

Autotrophs are…

Answer 12

Organisms that make their own food

Question 13

Photosynthesis is

Answer 13

6H2O + 6CO2 —-> 6O2 + C6H12O6

Water + Carbon Dioxide makes Oxygen and Glucose/Sugars

Question 14

What happens during the process of photosynthesis?

Answer 14

plants convert energy of sunlight into chemical energy stored in the bonds of carbohydrates (sugar)

Question 15

Light Dependent happens in the

Answer 15

Thylakoids membrane

Question 16

Light Independent/Calvin cycle happens in the

Answer 16

StRoma

Question 17

Chlorophyll absorbs…

Chlorophyll reflects…

Answer 17

Absorbs: Purple, blue, orange

Reflects: Green

Question 18

An example of an electron carrier is

Answer 18

NADP+

Question 19

The molecules used in Light Dependent are

Answer 19

Photon of light + Water —–> Oxygen

Question 20

The molecules used in Light Independent/Calvin cycle are

Answer 20

Carbon dioxide —–> Glucose(Sugar)

Question 21

What is special about C4 and CAM plants?

Answer 21

Plants that adapted to use very little carbon dioxide
in super bright and hot climates to do photosynthesis.

Like Cacti and Corn

Question 22

What do pigments do?

Answer 22

Capture light.

Question 23

What is a stomata/Stoma?

Answer 23

A hole in leaves that does gas exchange.

They let in CO2 and let out O2.

Question 24

What part of a vein carries water?

Answer 24

Xylem

Question 25

What part of a vein carries sugars/nutrients?

Answer 25

Phloem

Question 26

What part of the leaf traps the sun with chlorophyll?

Answer 26

Palisade Mesophyll

Question 27

What do the guard cells in a leaf do?

Answer 27

Open and close the stomata/Stoma

Question 28

What does the waxy cuticle of a leaf do?

Answer 28

Protects the leaf from insects

Prevent water loss
