16
Q

how does atp and adp connect

A

when atp breakdown energy is realised adn that energy creates ADP

17
Q

what light is aborb and what light is refeclted in photosynthesis

A

green light is reflected while blue and red light is absorbed

18
Q

whats a photosystem

A

a cluster in the tylakoid that has other pigment and choliphyll

19
Q

whats the thylakoid

A

it’s a part of the chloroplast is a flatted ouck stacked called grama and has chloropyhll in it

20
Q

what makes chlorophyll green

A

chlorophyll does not absorb green light it reflects it

21
Q

what does it mean when electrons get existed

A

it means that the electron is going to a higher energy level then others

22
Q

which is first photosystem 1 or 2

A

2

23
Q

what numbers are involed in the calvin cycle

A

6 carbons unstable then moves to a 12 carbon stable then it relses 2 pgal are relseds leaving 10 then there 6 rubp

24
Q

what is carbon dioxide fixation

A

means that carbon dioxide is is bonded to a already existing moulcoule this is RuBP

25
Q

which releases energy: antbolic metabolic pathways or catabolic metabolic pathways

A

catabolic: it breaks down breaks down larger molocules and antbolic synthesis larger molcoules vfrom smaller ones it requires energy
