Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| equation for photosynthesis | H20 + CO2 yields C6H12O6 + O2 |
| location of photosynthesis | chloroplast |
| reactants of photosynthesis | water and carbon dioxide |
| products of photosynthesis | glucose and oxygen |
| pigments | chemicals that absorb light |
| 2 reactions of photosynthesis | light dependent and light independent |
| another name for the light independent reaction | Calvin Cycle |
| requirements for light dependent reaction | water and light |
| ATP | energy source that cells use to do work |
| products of light dependent reaction | ATP, NADPH, O2 |
| location of light dependent reaction | thylakoids |
| Calvin Cycle or light independent reaction | process where carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH are turned into glucose, ADP, and NADP+ |
| Light intensity vs photosynthetic rate | rate of photosynthesis increases with light intensity up to a certain amount and then levels off |
| carbon dioxide level vs. photosynthetic rate | increased levels of carbon dioxide will stimulate photosynthesis and then it will level off |
| products of light independent reaction | glucose |
| requirements for the light independent reaction | carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH |
