Light Pig, Photosyn
Light and Pigment, Chemistry of Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Travels as a wave but energy is carried in packets called: | photons |
| We perceive different wavelengths of light as | different colors |
| The colors we see are what is: | reflected |
| primary photosynthetic pigment (blue-green) | Chlorophyll a |
| yellow-green pigment | Chlorophyll b |
| absorb energy and transfer to chlorophylls: | accessory pigments |
| yellow accessory pigment | Xanthophylls |
| orange accessory pigment | Carotenes |
| red accessory pigments | Phycobilins, Anthocyanins |
| Chloroplast structure includes a __________ __________ enclosed organelle | double membrane |
| stacks of thylakoid membrane | Grana |
| dense fluid surrounding grana | Stroma |
| unit of several hundred chlorophyll molecules working together: | Photosystem |
| A method of separating mixtures based on their solubility in a solvent system | Chromotography |
| 6CO₂ + 12 H₂O ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ + 6 H₂O | photosynthesis |
| Where do light-dependent reaction occur? | in the thylakoid membrane stacks called grana |
| light-dependent reactions require: | sunlight |
| light-dependent reactions consist of | Photosystem I and II |
| During these reactions energy from sunlight is trapped and ATP and NADPH are produced. These products will be used in the: | Calvin Cycle |
| Light-Independent Reactions are also known as | Calvin Cycle or C₃ pathway |
| Where do Light-Independent Reactions occur? | stroma |
| Light-Independent Reactions do NOT require: | sunlight |
| ATP and NADPH from the light reactions are used to fix CO₂ into: | glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) |
| The Calvin Cycle begins and ends with the: | 5-carbon sugar RUBP |
| What captures sunlight? | chloroplasts |
| In photosynthesis, captured energy is transferred to the stable bonds of: | glucose |
| during the process of photosynthesis, water is split to provide a source of electrons at which point ___________ is released | oxygen |
| What is the ultimate food? | glucose |
| 6CO₂ + 12 H₂O ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ + 6 H₂O ... what is the name of the first and second part of this equation? | reactants, products |
