Photosynthesis - 9

Question 1

What is the overall equation of photosynthesis

Answer 1

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Question 2

What is the structure of chloroplasts

Answer 2

Outer membrane
Intermembrane space
Inner membrane
Granum made up of Thylakoids

Question 3

Where is light energy captured

Answer 3

In Photosystems. These are protein complexes in the thylakoid membrane that contain chlorophyll. This produces high energy e- that travel through photosynthetic e- transport chain.

Question 4

How many membranes does it have

Answer 4

3 (Inner, outer and thylakoid)

Question 5

What are the main inputs of Photosynthesis

Answer 5

Light, water and carbon

Question 6

What are the main outputs of photosynthesis

Answer 6

Glucose and oxygen

Question 7

Where do animals get their energy for respiration from

Answer 7

From external sources (eating)

Question 8

What are the two parts of photosynthesis and their outputs

Answer 8

Light reaction - H2O->2H+ + 1/2O2

Calvin cycle - 3CO2-> 3 glucose

Question 9

What is the origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria

Answer 9

Both used to be their own separate cell until they were engulfed by another. Instead of being digested they were integrated. This is why both have DNA and ribosomes
