Photosynthesis

QuestionAnswer
What pigment is primarily responsible for absorbing light in plants? Chlorophyll a
What is one factor that can affect the rate of photosynthesis? Light intensity
What are two main stages of photosynthesis? light-dependent and light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle)
What is the role of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis? It captures the energy from sunlight and uses it to create a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane
What is the general formula for photosynthesis? Light + 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H1206 + 6O2
With the photosynthesis experiment - how can we ensure that our results accurately reflect the effect of light color on photosynthesis? By using a control group with normal light conditions
With the photosynthesis experiment - what should the null hypothesis state regarding the effect of light color on photosynthesis? Light color has no effect on the rate of photosynthesis
How do pigments like chlorophyll contribute to photosynthesis? They absorb light energy to excite electrons/provide energy
In which part of the chloroplast do the light-dependent reactions take place? Thylakoid membrane
What is the primary role of chlorophyll in the light-dependent reactions? To absorb light energy and initiate electron transport
During the light-dependent reactions, what is produced? ATP and NADPH
What is the role of ATP and NADPH in the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle)? They are used to provide the energy needed to convert carbon dioxide into glucose
Thinking of the photosynthesis lab, how does increasing light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis? It raises the rate until it reaches a maximum level
Which pigment primarily absorbs red and violet light? Chlorophyll a
What technique is used to separate plant pigments? Paper chromatography
In which part of the chloroplast do the light-independent reactions take place? Stroma
What is the primary role of ATP and NADPH in the Calvin cycle? Provide energy and reducing power for carbon fixation
What are three variables that can affect the rate of photosynthesis? Light intensity, CO2 concentration, and temperature
What was the visual indication of the photosynthetic activity? Oxygen producing, and pushing water level down the manometer
In the Calvin cycle, what is the primary product formed? Glucose
Why do you see light emitted from separated chlorophyll? It releases energy as light when electrons return to ground state
What is the main purpose of the light-dependent reactions? To convert solar energy into chemical energy
What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle? To fix carbon dioxide into organic molecules
What is the significance of water in photosynthesis? It provides electrons and protons for the light-dependent reactions

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
