Photosynthesis interim assessment study guide
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What types of organisms do photosynthesis? | Plants, Bacteria, & Protists |
| Plants are extremely important because they produce sugars and are our major producers. | TRUE |
| Sugar is food for plants, what is the type of sugar plants make? | Glucose |
| What process do plants use to produce sugar? | Photosynthesis |
| Which is the Product of Photosynthesis after a plant absorbs light? | Glucose (Sugar) |
| What is the name of the pigment that absorbs sunlight? | Chlorophyll |
| What plant organelle does photosynthesis take place in? | Chloroplast |
| .What are TWO other names for the light independent reactions? | Calvin Cycle & Dark Reaction |
| Where, in the chloroplast, do the light reactions of photosynthesis take place? | Thylakoid |
| Granum | Stack of thylakoids |
| Grana | multiple stacks of thylakoids |
| What are the inputs of the light dependent reactions? | Light & Water |
| What is the output of the light dependent reactions? | Oxygen |
| Where do the light independent reactions (or the Calvin Cycle) take place within the chloroplast? | Stoma |
| Stroma | Singular |
| Stomata | Plural |
| What is the input for the light independent reactions (or Calvin Cycle)? | Carbon Dioxide |
| The stoma are guard cells that can … | Open and Close |
| What is the MAIN product or purpose of photosynthesis? | To Make Sugar (Glucose) |
| Producer | Organisms that make their own food using sunlight. Also known as autotrophs. |
| Consumer | Organism that eats producers or other consumers. Also known as heterotrophs. |
| Photosynthetic organisms are... | Producers |
| Photosynthesis | Process through which light energy is captured and used to build sugars that store chemical energy |
| Photosynthesis Involves... | Matter Transformation & Energy Transformation |
| Chlorophyll | Is a green pigment that absorbs light energy. |
| Chloroplasts | Are organelles in plants where chlorophyll is found |
| Producers take the monosaccharide glucose and make polysaccharides like cellulose and starch to build up all their... | MASS |
| Photosynthesis in plants occurs in the... | Chloroplasts |
| Equation for Photosynthesis | 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| What are the inputs of photosynthesis? | The inputs of photosynthesis are WATER & CARBON DIOXIDE. |
| What are the outputs of photosynthesis? | The outputs of photosynthesis are GLUCOSE & OXYGEN. |
| Where does the mass of a tree come from? | THE CARBON DIOXIDE THE PLANT TAKES IN |
| What three things are used to make glucose in photosynthesis? | Sunlight Energy, Water (H2O), Carbon (CO2) |
| Where does the water come from? Where does it enter the plants? | Water comes from the ground and it enters the roots of the plants. |
| What type of energy does the plant use to convert CO2 and H2O into sugar? | The plant uses thermal energy to convert CO2 and H2O into sugar. |
| What are the reactants of photosynthesis? | Carbon (CO2), Water (H2O) |
| What are the products of photosynthesis? | Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen |
