Photosynthesis,ATP & Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What is and where is chloroplasts located?
Chloroplast is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis and it is located only in plant cells
What is the ultimate source of energy for most organisms?
Sunlight
What is photosynthesis?
Process by which solar energy chemically converts water and carbon dioxide in chemical energy stored in glucose
What is the chemical equation of photosynthesis? And what does it stand for?
6CO2+ 6H2O ➡️ C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 which is 6 carbon dioxide, 6 water are need to produce 1 glucose and 6 oxygen
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H20 which is Carbon dioxide and water
What are the products of photosynthesis?
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 which is glucose and oxygen
Are the reactants of photosynthesis formed or broken down?
Broken down
Are the products of photo formed or broken down?
Formed
What is solar energy needed to do?
Break down water molecules
Does light-independent (dark reactions) ( Calvin cycle) require sunlight ?
No
What happens during light-dependent reactions?
Solar energy is absorbed by chloroplasts then two energy storing molecules produces ATP & NAPH. Solar oxygen splits water molecules and release the waste product water
What are the parts of photosynthesis involved in LDR?
6h20 water & 6o2 oxygen
What happens during light-independent reactions?
Energy stored in ATP & NADPH is used to produce glucose from carbon dioxide. Cells need glucose which are carbs which is the main energy source of all organisms
What parts of photosynthesis is LIR?
6co2 carbon dioxide & c6 h12 o6 glucose
How is glucose used in cellular respiration?
Energy source
What can glucose be converted to?
Organic molecules which are proteins carbs and lipids
What reaction is thylakid part of?
Light - dependent
What plant pigment is involved in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
Light-independent and light-dependent
What happens to water molecules in light reactions?
They split
What photosynthesis waste product is formed in light reactions?
Oxygen
What two products of light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle ?
Carbon dioxide and glucose
What happens to carbon dioxide molecules in the Calvin cycle reactions?
Carbon dioxide goes in dark reactions and glucose comes out
Why is cellular respiration used?
To convert checkmate energy in nutrients to energy stored in ATP.
