CH 10 Bio Quiz
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Autotrophs | “self feeders” they sustain themselves from eating anything derived from other living beings (plants) |
| 2 stages of photosynthesis | 1. Light Reaction (solar energy captured and transformed to chemical energy.2. Calvin Cycle (Chemical energy is used to make organic molecules of food) |
| Chlorophyll | Gives plants their color green, (green pygmint in chloroplast). Resides in the Thylakoid Sacs |
| Chloroplast | found mainly in the cells of Mesophyll (tissue of interior leaf) |
| Stomata | process which carbon dioxide enters the leaf and oxygen exits by way of microscopic pores called Stomata |
| Thylakoid sacs | stacked in collums called Grana |
| Granum | stack of thylakoid sacs |
| Cell Respiration | energy released fr sugar when e- assoc w. H are transported by carriers to O, forming h20 as a byproduct. E- lose potential energy as they fall down the e- transport chain toward electronegative O, and the mitochondrion harness that E to synthesize ATP. |
| Photosynthesis | reverses the direction of e- flow. h20 is split, and e- are transferred along with h+ ions from the h20 to co2, reducing it to sugar. Because the e- increase in potential energy as they move from water to sugar this process requires energy…..Light |
| Light Reactions | h2o is split, providing a source of e- & P, giving off o2 as buyproduct.Light absorved by chlorophyll drives a transfer of e- and H ions form the h20 to an acceptor called NADP+ where they are temp stored. atp. no sugar |
| Wave Length | the distance between the crests of electromagnetic energy. shorter the wave length greater energy of each photon |
| Electromagnetic Spectrum | the entire range of radiation |
| Carotenoids | protectors--compounds absorb and dissipate ecxessive light energy that would otherwise damage chlorophyll or interact with oxygen molocules that are dangerous to the cell |
