Photosynthesis Flashcards
A process where plants use solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose, and oxygen.
Photosynthesis
The oxygen that we breathe once comes from _____.
Water (H20)
Organelles that give plants its notable green pigment. It is also the site for photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll
Part of the plants where the gas exchange happens. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.
Stomata
The site of photosynthesis. Stack of this is called grana.
Thylakoid
Chlorophyll in _____ absorbs sunlight and its electrons become excited and go to _____. As a result, the thylakoid membrane became negatively charged. (STEP 1)
PhotoSystem 2, PhotoSystem 1
Broken _________ are sucked in the stroma are sucked into the thylakoid by the protein pumps that are activated during the electron transfer. ________ are broken down. Water (H20) electrons (from the broken down H+) _______ the electrons of PS2. The _____ from water is released. (STEP 2)
Hydrogen (H+), Water molecules, replenishes, oxygen
_______ helps bond _____ and H+ to create ______.. Due to large amount of H+, it will diffuse to _______. H+ will help bond Adenoside diphosphate(ADP) and a Phosphate(P) to create _________. Overall, Oxygen, NADPH, and ATP are created in the ________________. (STEP 3)
Electrons, NADP, NADPH, ATP Synthase, Adenosine Triphosphate, Light Dependent Reaction
_____________ in the stroma will bond to Carbon Dioxide to create a 6 Carbon Molecule. (STEP 1)
5 carbon chain (Ribulosebiphosphate)
______ and ______ will use their energy to break down the 6 carbon molecule into two _______________. (STEP 2)
ATP,NADPH, 3 carbon molecule
Some 3 carbon molecule will bond to create _______. Other 3 carbon molecule will be broken down by ______ and will recombine into a ___________ to restart the process.
glucose, ATP, 5 carbon molecule
