Quiz: Photosynthesis
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Producers | -Base of all ecosystems. |
Photosynthesis | -Photosynthesis uses light energy to make food (glucose). -Photosynthesis is a two-part chemical reaction. --Light reaction --Dark reaction |
Light Reaction | -Uses sunlight to split water. |
Dark Reaction | -Makes glucose from CO2. |
What is Photosynthesis? | -Biochemical process of producing energy. --Sun splits water molecules (hydrolysis) inside the plant. --Carbon Dioxide is then added to the reaction. --Result is glucose which the plants use for fuel. --Oxygen is also a product which animals use. |
Photosynthesis formula | -6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
Photosynthesis and Leaves | -Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of plants and is synthesis reaction. -In the leaves structures called chloroplasts is where photosynthesis takes place. |
Photosynthesis: Chloroplasts | -Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts. --Similar in structure to mitochondria. -Thylakoids organize the reactions. |
Leaf Structure | -Water -Roots -Xylem -CO2 -Atmosphere -Stomata -Phloem carries glucose produced. |
Stroma | -A fluid in the structure. |
Thylakoids | -The discs inside the chloroplast. |
Granum | -A stack of the discs inside the chloroplast. |
