Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What happens to the electrons when light is absorbed. | They get excited |
| Which colours of light does chlorophyll absorb | red and blue |
| Colours of light absorbed by carotenoids | not absorbing red and blue |
| Explain what happens during photolysis | Water is split up into hydrogen and oxygen using light |
| Name the molecule that picks up hydrogen in the Light dependent stage | NADP |
| Name the 2 molecules from the light reactions that are needed for Carbon fixation | ATP & H/NADPH |
| State the two stages of photosynthesis | 1. Light dependent stage 2. Carbon Fixation |
| State the molecule that combines with RuBP to make 3PG | CO2 |
| State the substances that need to be added for 3PG to become G3P | ATP + hydrogen |
| Name the two molecules G3P can be turned into | Glucose OR RuBP |
| Glucose can be turned into | starch or cellulose |
| Describe the function of cartenoids | absorb more colours of light and pass energy onto chlorophyll for photosynthesis |
| Name the 3 fates of light | Absorb Reflect Transmit |
| The spectra that measures the colours of light where photosynthesis occurs is termed the | action spectra |
| The by product that diffuses out the leaf during the Light dependent stage is | oxygen |
| Describe how ATP is produced during the electron transport chain of the Light reactions | Electron get excited and pass along chain releaseing energy to cause ATP synthase to make ATP. |
| Explain why the shade plant has a higher percentage of cartenoids than the sun plant above it, | Plant above absorbs red and blue leaving green light to be transmitted to shade plant below. |
