photosynthesis
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| start products | carbon dioxide & water + light and chlorophyll |
| end products | oxygen, glucose, water |
| two steps of photosynthesis | light (dependent) and light (independent) |
| goal of light (dependent) | to spoilt water and convert solar energy to chemical energy |
| start products of light (dependent) | sunlight & water |
| end products of light (dependent) | oxygen, ATP, NADPH |
| goal of light (independent) | to produce glucose using CO2 from the atmosphere |
| start products of light (independent) | CO2, ATP, NADPH |
| end products of light (independent) | glucose |
| where does photosynthesis occur | anywhere that there is chlorophyll thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts chlorophyll in thylakoid membranes thylakoids surrounded by stoma |
| plants absorb | 400-700nm |
| hypotonic | more water, less solute; grows |
| isotonic | equal water and solute |
| hypertonic | more solute, less water; shrinks |
| first step of photosynthesis | CO2 and H2O enter leaf |
| second step of photosynthesis | split H2O into O2 |
| third step of photosynthesis | electrons move to enzymes |
| convert ADP to ATP and NADP to NADPH | |
| fifth step of photosynthesis | convert carbon dioxide into glucose |
| carbon sinks | plants, aquatic systems, forests |
| fourth step of photosynthesis |
