Science Test 9.2 Flashcards
Pigment
Natural Coloring/ provides a backround color (pink pigment for some people)
Chlorophyll
Natural compound in green plants that gives them color
Thylakoids
Tiny comparments in chlorpolast that hold chlorophyll
Stroma
Space inside the chloroplast that is filled with fluid
Accesory Pigments
ASK MS H
Light Dependant Reactions
Happen in the Thylakoid and happen when sunlight or other light is exposed upon it
Light INDEPENDANT Reactions ( Calvin Cycle)
AMH
Electron Carrier
Amh
Palisade Mesophyll
Interior layer of leaf where most of photosynthesis occures
Stomata
Small openings or pores that let in and out Gas
What role do pigments play in the process of photosynthesis?
Absorb the light and turn to the color desired
Why are pigments particular colors?
Pigments are different colors because They absorb some colored light more than other
Where is chlorophyll found in a leaf?
Chlorophyll is found in the Chloroplast
Cuticle
Cuticle is the protective layer on the exterior of the leaf
Spongy Mesophyll
Interior of leaf that has air inbetween to let gases travel through
Balanced form of Photosynthesis equation
6CO2 + 6H20 PLUS Chlorophyll and Sunlight = C6H12O6
What Happens in the LDR And LIR
ASK MS H
What is the role of an Electron carrier
Take electrons from one molecule and bring them to another
How do factors such as temperature, light, CO2 concentration, and water availability affect the rate of photosynthesis
Increasing CO2 increases the speed of photosynthesis
