photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are autotrophs? | Can make their own food. |
| What are heterotrophs? | Have to rely on the autotrophs for food. |
| What does ATP stand for? | adenosine tri phosphate |
| How does ATP store it's energy? | Stored inside the molecule by the bonds that connect the adenosine to the phosphate. |
| What are the three parts that make up ATP? | Adenine+ribose --> adenosine |
| What did the scientist Van Helmont contribute to photosynthesis? | stated that plants gain their mass from water intake. |
| What did the scientist Calvin contribute to photosynthesis? | traced the pathway that carbon follows to make glucose. "Calvin Cycle or Dark reaction" |
| What did the scientist Priestley contribute to photosynthesis? | Discovered that plants release oxygen |
| What is the photosynthesis equation? | 6 H2O + 6 CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 |
| What are the reactants to the photosynthesis equation? | Water and carbon dioxide |
| What are the products of photosynthesis? | Glucose and oxygen |
| Which region of the electromagnetic spectum is absorbed by chlorophyll? | all but green. (red orange yellow blue violet) |
| What region is the electromagnetic spectrum is not absorbed very well? | yellow |
| Which colors of visible light are of lower energy? | red |
| What colors of visible light are of higher energy? | violet |
| What is stroma? | gel-like matrix that surronds the thylakoid |
| What is grana? | sticks of thylakoid |
| What is thylakoid membranes? | contains chlorophyll |
| What is chloroplast? | carries out photosynthesis |
| What is chlorphyll? | captures the light for photosynthesis |
| What are the products of the light dependent reaction? | Oxygen NADP ATP |
| What are the product of the dark dependent reaction? | PGAL |
| What is another name for the dark dependent reacton? | Calvin Cycle |
| In which reaction (light/dark) is PGAL made? | Dark |
| What is photosystem 1? | were the chytophones carry the electrons to make ATP. |
| What effect does increasing temperatures have on photosynthesis? | On the amount of photosynthesis takes place. |
| What effect does increasing light intensity have on photosynthesis? | On the amount of photosynthesis takes place. |
| What is the difference between oxidation and reduction? | Loses electrons oxidized then gains electrons reduced. |
| What color is the pigment chlorophyll? | green |
| What color is the pigment xanthophll? | yellow |
| What color is the pigment tannin? | brown |
| What color is the pigment carotene? | red |
| What is a pigment? | a protein that reflects different colors. |
| How does the amount of storage of energy in an ATP molecule comopare to that of a glucose molecule? | One glucose makes 36 ATP glycogen. |
| What part of photosynthesis occurs in the thylakoid membrane? | light reaction |
| What part of the photosythesis occurs in the stroma? | dark reaction |
| What is carbon fixation? | Were CO2 is converted to sugar |
| What is stomata? | pores that are used for gas exchange |
| What does NADP do in the process of photosynthesis? | Hydrogen across the membrane. |
