Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Photosynthesis? | Photosynthesis is when plants take sunlight and carbon dioxide and water and make it into oxygen. |
| What is cellular respiration? | Cellular respiration uses oxygen to convert the energy stored in glucose into the energy stored in ATP. Its byproducts are water and carbon dioxide. |
| Where does photosynthesis occur? | The chloroplast |
| What happens when carbon dioxide reacts with water? | It produces carbonic acid |
| What does carbonic acid release? | Protons |
| What is one way to find out how many protons there is? | Adding BTB and depending on the color it will tell you how many protons there are |
| If the BTB is blue is it low proton concentration or at high proton concentration? | Low proton concentration |
| At a high proton concentration is BTB yellow or blue | yellow |
| Does photosynthesis cause an increase of pH(protons)? | yes |
| Why does photosynthesis cause an increase of pH | because it uses carbon dioxide and a reactant which decreases concentration of carbonic acid |
| True or Falso: Photosynthesis is favored over cell respiration | true |
| what is the result when photosynthesising plants remove carbon dioxide from water. | it reduces proton levels and pH increases |
| True or Falso: photosynthesis is active in the dark | false |
| Does cellular respiration happen in the dark? | Yes |
| What does measuring carbon dioxide allow you to do? | It allows you to follow photosynthesis and cellular respiration of water plants. |
