Photosynthesis Quiz Flashcards
Equation for photosynthesis
Light + CO2 + H2O = C6H12O6 + O2
Light
light dependent e- transport chain, photosystems harvest light
CO2
RuBisCo fixes CO2 in Calvin Cycle
H2O
PSII of e- transport chain, e- is harvested from this H2O
C6H12O6
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is used to build sugars (carb production)
O2
PSII by product
What product of the Calvin cycle leaves to make sugars?
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
What enzyme fixes CO2 from the atmosphere?
RuBisCO
How do PSI and II harvest light?
By pigments
Which process uses the NADPH and ATP produced by electron transport?
Calvin Cycle
How many protein complexes harvest light during photosynthesis?
2
What are the products of the photosynthetic electron transport?
NADPH + ATP
Where is the light energy harvested by photosynthesis stored?
Chemical bonds
Where does photosynthesis occur?
The chloroplast
What is the starting material for the photosynthetic electron transport chain and what products are produced?
Light & H2O = NADPH & ATP
