1
Q

How does ATP transfer energy?

A

Transfers energy from breaking down food. The energy is released when a phosphate group is removed then ADP is turned into ATP when a phosphate group is added then repeat.

Q

Light-dependent reactions

A

Takes place in the thylakoid, water/sunlight is needed, energy is transferred along the thylakoid membrane to light-independent reactions, and oxygen is released.

Q

Photosystem II

A

First chlorophyll absorbs energy, then electrons replace e- lost by chlorophyll while H2O is hydrolyzed and oxygen enters the atmosphere while hydrogen ions go across the thylakoid membrane

Q

What happens to the electrons in photosystem II?

A

they are moved from protein to protein and their energy is used to pump hydrogen ions from outside to inside the thylakoid membrane

Q

Photosystem I

A

Q

What happens in light-independent reactions?

A

Carbon dioxide molecules enter the Calvin cycle to form a 5 carbon molecule, ATP Is added to split the 6 carbon molecule into 3 and they leave the cycle every 3 CO2 molecule that enters

Q

Heterotrophs

A

get energy from eating other organisms

17
Q

Autotrophs

A

produces its own energy

18
Q

What does a plant do?

A

store and collect light energy, need to get building block atoms from the atmosphere ( C, H, O, N), produce organic molecules for growth

19
Q

How do plants obtain raw materials?

A

The leaves collect sunlight, CO2 is collecting from stomates, H2O is from the uptake of roots, and nutrients like N or P from roots

20
Q

What type of process are photosynthesis and cellular respiration

A

Photo- endergonic cellular- exergonic

21
Q

Factors that affect photosynthesis are?

A

temperature, pH levels, amount of light, shortage of reactants `

22
Q

noncyclic photophosphorylation

A

Photosystem 1 and 2 are both working properly

23
Q

cyclic photophosphorylation

A

the electrons cycle back to p2 and make more ATP instead of NADPH because p1 cant pass electrons to NADP
