Photosynthesis (Miss Reynolds)

Question 1

Organic

Answer 1

A compound that contains carbon e.g CO2/lipids.

Question 2

Inorganic

Answer 2

A compound that does not contain carbon e.g phosphate.

Question 3

Co-enzymes

Answer 3

Non protein molecules that help enzymes to work by transferring the molecules.

Question 4

Phosphorylation

Answer 4

Adding a phosphate.

Question 5

Electron Transport Chain

Answer 5

When electrons flow through proteins in a membrane.

Question 6

Metabolic pathway

Answer 6

A series of small reactions controlled by enzymes e.g photosynthesis.

Question 7

Decarboxylation

Answer 7

The removal of carbon dioxide from a molecule.

Question 8

Dehydrogenation

Answer 8

The removal of hydrogen from a molecule.

Question 9

What does light dependent reaction produce?

Answer 9

ATP

Question 10

What does light independent reaction produce?

Answer 10

Glucose

Question 11

Which type of light reaction uses light directly?

Answer 11

Light dependant reaction

Question 12

Chemiosmosis

Answer 12

Name of the process where the movement of H+ ions across a membrane creates ATP.

Question 13

What happens during the light dependant reaction?

Answer 13

Uses light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis. ATP and reduced electron carrier NADPH.

Question 14

Where do light reactions take place?

Answer 14

In the chloroplasts

Question 15

What happens during the light Independant reaction?

Answer 15

Photosynthesis not requiring light can proceed and ultimately produce organic molecules from carbon dioxide. ATP drives this.

Question 16

Calvin Cycle

Answer 16

Uses the products of the light dependant reaction to covert C02 into useful organic compounds.
