preview of photosynthesis

Question 1

where does the photosynthesis occur?

Answer 1

in the chlorophyll

Question 2

how can the equation for photosynthesis be read?

Answer 2

CO2 and H2O in the presences of light energy and chlorophyll, react to form glucose and oxygen

Question 3

what are the parts of a chloroplast ?

Answer 3

• thylakoid
• granum
• intergranal thylakoid (stroma thylakoid
• stroma
• double membrane

Question 4

what parts of the chlorophyll is light-dependent?

Answer 4

Thylakoids-Granum-Intergranal thylakoid

Question 5

what is a thylakoid ?

Answer 5

pigment-containing flatted sacks.

Question 6

where does the light-dependent reaction happen?

Answer 6

in the thylakoid membrane

Question 7

what is a granum

Answer 7

is a stack of thylakoids

Question 8

what is an intergranal thylakoid (stroma thylakoid) ?

Answer 8

are extensions of the membrane that forms the thylakoid. they connect one grana to another

Question 9

what is a stroma

Answer 9

is a gel-like material containing enzymes

Question 10

where does the light-independent reaction occur?

Answer 10

LIR occurs in the stroma using the enzymes present in it.

Question 11

what does a double membrane do?

Answer 11

a double membrane controls molecular traffic into and out of the chloroplast
