Photosynthesis HN
Photosynthesis HN Set - Import from Quizlet
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| atp synthase | enzyme that makes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate |
| chemiosmosis | A process for synthesizing ATP using the energy of an electrochemical gradient and the ATP synthase enzyme. |
| products of chemiosmosis | ATP |
| Photosynthesis equation | Sunlight + 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| thylakoid | A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy. |
| grana | stacks of thylakoids |
| stroma | fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids; where calvin cycle occurs |
| thylakoid space | has high [H+] |
| Calvin cycle | reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars from CO2 |
| Chlorophyll | Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis, releases electrons |
| thylakoid membrane | where light dependent reactions take place |
| products of light reactions | ATP and NADPH, o2 |
| reactants of Calvin cycle | CO2, ATP, NADPH |
| products of Calvin cycle | NADP+, ADP, and Glucose |
| NADPH | carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules |
| ATP | compound used by cells to store and release energy; adenosine triphosphate |
| autotroph | organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer |
| heterotroph | organism that obtains food by consuming other living things; also called a consumer |
| photosynthesis (definition) | process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches |
| light-dependent reaction | set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH |
| reactants of the light dependent | water, sunlight, ADP, NADP+ |
| chloroplast | organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy |
| reactants of photosynthesis | carbon dioxide and water |
| products of photosynthesis | glucose and oxygen |
| products of dark reaction | glucose, ADP, NADP+ |
| Mitochondria | Organelle found in all organisms that is the site of aerobic cellular respiration; plants have these too!! |
| glucose | C6H12O6; sugar that contains energy in bonds |
| Reactants | A starting material in a chemical reaction |
| Products | The elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction. |
| Cell respiration (definition) | the controlled release of energy in the form of ATP from organic compounds (glucose) in cells |
| cell respiration (equation) | C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----> 6CO2 + H2O + energy |
