Photosynthesis (COMPLETED SET) Flashcards
What are the stages of photosynthesis?
THe light reactions and the Calvin Cycle
What does the Calvin cycle do?
Uses CO2 and chemical energy (reactants) to synthesize glucose (product)
What do the Light reactions do? (Reactants and products)
Convert light (photons) and H2O (both reactants) into chemical energy and O2 (products)
Where does photosynthesis take place?
The chloroplast
Where does the Calvin cycle happen?
The stroma
Where does chemical energy come from to power the Calvin Cycle?
The light reactions
What are all the things that go into the chloroplast? What are the products?
Light, water, CO2. O2 and glucose
What are stomata? What do they do?
Openings/pores on leaves, let CO2 into plant and release O2
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
CO2 and H2O
In a sentence, what happens during photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts use energy from light to turn CO2 and H2O into sugar and O2
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Sugar and O2 (byproduct)
