photosynthesis and energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is the equation for photosynthesis? | co2+H2O+energy------> c6h12o6+o2 |
| what is the primary pigment of photosynthesis? | chllorophyll |
| where does the light dependent reaction occur? | membrane of the thylakoid |
| where does the Calvin cycle occur? | stroma |
| the photosystem contains pigments that absorb light and pass the energy on to the what? | the electron |
| the major products of the light dependent reactions are? | ATP and nadph |
| in photosynthesis carbon dioxide is used to make sugar during what? | the Calvin cycle |
| what is the function of nadph and ATP in the Calvin cycle? | they provide the energy required to build high energy sugars |
| what is the function of photosynthesis? | converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose) |
| what is the location of photosynthesis? | the chloroplast |
| what are the reactants of photosynthesis? | water , CO2 and energy ( in the form of light) |
| what are the products of photosynthesis? | oxygen and glucose |
| what does the Calvin cycle use to produce high energy sugar? | nadph and atp |
| what is photosynthesis | a process in which plants use the energy of sunlight to make high energy carbohydrates |
| what is chlorophyll | principal pigments of plants |
| what is pigment | light absorbing molecules |
| what is adenosine triphosphate | the basic energy source of all cells |
| whats is the thylakoid | sack like photosynthetic membranes in chloroplast |
| what is photosystems | clusters in the thylakoid membrane of chlorophyll and other pigments |
| what is the stroma | the region of chloroplast outside the thylakoid membranes |
| what is nadp+ | electron carrier |
| what is the calvin cycle | reactions that use atp and nadph to produce high energy sugars |
| what is the light independent reaction | reactions that produce oxygen gas and convert ADP and nadp+ into the energy carriers atp and nadph |
