PHOTOSYNTHESIS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| plants gather the sun's energy with light absorbing molecules | called pigments |
| what is the main pigment in plants | chlorophyll |
| name 2 two types of chlorophyll | chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b |
| what absobed light well in the blue violet and red regions of the light spectrum | chlorophyll |
| what does not absorb green but reflects green | chlorophyll |
| pklants have other pigment that absorb wavelengths of light but aren't noticed due to so much green pigments | red and orange |
| what is photosynthesis taking place in organelles | chloroplast |
| chloroplast contain sac like synthesisess called | thylakoids |
| thylakoids are inner connected and arranged in stacks known as | groma |
| where are pigment located | thylakoid membranes |
| what is the fluid portion of the chloroplast outside of the thylakoids | stroma |
| what does chlorophyll absorb especaially well | light |
| a large fraction of light energy is transferred to _ in the chlorophyll molecule | electron |
| raising energy levels of electrons alows light energy to produce a steady supply of high energy electrons making _ work | photosynthesis |
| high energy electrons produce by chlorophyll are high _ and require a _ | reactive; special carrier |
| what is a compound that can accept a paiur of high energy electrons and transfer them along with their energy along with their molecule | electron carrier 3x. NADP |
| this accepts and holds 2 high energy electrons along with a hydrogen ions and converts to _ | NADPH |
| photosynthesis uses the energy of _ to convert water to carbon into high energies _ and __ | sunlight, sugars, oxygen |
| what is a set of reactions in photosynthesis that uses energy from light to produce ATP in NADPH | light dependent reactions |
| light dependent reactions take place within the what | thylakoid |
| set of reactions that does NOT require energy from ATP and NADPH | light independent reactions |
