| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is an autotroph? | Plants that make their own energy via photosynthesis. Sunlight>CO2>mud. Take apart simple sugar molecules. |
| What is a heterotroph? | An organism has to go out to find food and ingest it. |
| What are chloroplasts? | Plants have evolved this special organelle. |
| What is the color spectrum wave length? | From high to low: Gamma rays,x rays, uv rays,infrared heat,radio waves. |
| What color frequency do plants use? | Blueish and reddish frequency |
| What is light dependent reaction? | Need light to work, utilize high electron molecules |
| What does NADPH do? | carry energy using ATP to make enough energy to use to make sugar molecule |
| What occurs in Photosystem I? | Chlorophyll hit by sunlight energy,electrons within chlorophyll absorb energy at 700 nm to excite electrons to bounce up to another orbital.Excited electrons are grabbed by electron receptor molecule. For every 2 electrons you make an ATP. |
| What occurs in photosystem II? | (2 ADP make 2 ATP) to photosystem I apart of electron acceptor 2. 2 ATP grabbed by NADPH molecule to take to light independent reaction to make sugar molecule |
| What is photolysis? | Slice H2O into 2 hydrogen + 2 electrons +1 Oxygen =NADPH, 2 electrons get lost to be replaced. Oxygen given off as waste gas |
| What is the Calvin cycle? | Keep putting in 6 carbon dioxide help for sugar molecules to eventually store the sugar as starch to use in aerobic respiration |
| What is the function of light independent reactions? | Make sugar molcules |
