Test 10/30 Flashcards
Know what the ATP molecule looks like and where a bond is broken to make ADP
Adenosine P P / P
Ribose
What gas is given off by plants during photosynthesis
Oxygen
What is the overall reaction of photosynthesis
6Co2 + 6H2O —> c6 h12 o6 + 6o2
light
What are the light absorbing molecules in plants called
Chlorophyll
Why do plants have many different pigments
Because they absorb different spectrums and wavelengths to get the maximum amount of energy in different weather
What region of the visible spectrum of light is absorbed well by chlorophyll
Everything but green
What are stomata
They are openings in plants leaves to intake carbon dioxide and release oxygen
Why do plants need stomata for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide goes in through the stomata and without it photosynthesis wouldn’t occur
Know what a chloroplast is and grana/granum, stroma, pigment, thylakoid
Grana/granum: short stack
Thylakoid: pancake
Stroma: syrup
Where in the chloroplast is chlorophyll found
Thylakoid membranes
Thylakoid
What is the location of light dependent reactions
Thylakoid
What is the location of the light independent reactions
Stroma
What are the products of the light dependent reactions
Oxygen
ATP
NADPH
Which of the light dependent products are used in light independent
ATP
NADPH
What is the Calvin cycle
Light ad dark reactions use Co2 to make glucose
