Photosynthesis and Respiration Flashcards
Cells can use ATP for:
a) protein synthesis
b) movement of ions across membranes
c) thoughts in the human brain
Oxygen Cycle
Producers ↑ / Consumers ↓ = homeostatic balance
Pigments
colored substance that absorb certain wavelengths of light (pigments get their color by reflecting other wavelengths).
Black
absorbs all wavelengths
Chromatography
a) grind up plants in a solvent (acetone)
b) filter plant from solvent (chloroplasts)
c) place a drop or pigments extract on filter and allow solvent to evaporate
d) allow pigment to move up filter paper by capillary action
Two main chloroplast pigments
a) green chlorophylls
b) Accessory pigments: orange, red, and carotenoids
Lithotrophs
derives reductive power by oxidizing compounds such as hydrogen gas, carbon monoxide, ammonia, nitrate, hydrosulphuric acid, sulfur, sulfate, or iron
