Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A process in which sunlight energy is used to make glucose | photosynthesis |
| The site of photosynthesis is in the ___________ an organelle found in the leaves of green plants | chloroplast |
| The main functions of chloroplasts are to produce food called _______ and to store food energy. | glucose |
| Chloroplasts contain the pigment | chlorophyll |
| Chlorophyll absorbs most of the colors in the color spectrum, and reflects only ________ and yellow wavelengths of light. | green |
| Plants make sugar by using the energy from sunlight to transform ___________________ from the air with water from the ground into glucose | Carbon dioxide |
| What three things are used to make glucose in photosynthesis? carbon dioxide, water and _______, | Sun |
| The glucose produced is used by the plant for energy and _________. | growth |
| The ________ produced is released into the air for us to breathe through photosynthesis | oxygen |
| Plants are considered _______________ because unlike us humans, they can make their own food using this process | autotrophs |
| __________ stacks are connected together | thylakoid |
| ______ makes up the inner membrane | grana |
| plants take in carbon dioxide throught their ___________ | stomata |
| plants take in water through their ___________ | roots |
| The light-independent reactions is also called the | Calvin cycle |
| Where do the light reactions occur (not just chloroplast) | Thylakoid membrane |
| Is photosysthesis a physical or chemical reaction? | chemical |
| What is produced by phototsynthesis? oxygen and __________ | sugar |
| where does the Calvin cycle occur? | stroma |
| What are the four reactants (inputs) for the Light Cycle? ADP+P, NADP+, sunlight and ________ | water |
| What are the 3 reactants (inputs) of the Calvin Cycle? carbon dioxide, NADPH (energy), and ____________ | ATP (energy) |
| Glucose is produced during photosynthesis is used during cellular respiration to yield ATP. What is the original source of energy used during photosynthesis that is stored in glucose molecules? | light |
| What are the outputs (products) of the light cycle? ATP, Oxygen, and _______ | NADPH |
| What are the NET products of the Calvin Cycle? | Glucose |
| What product of photosynthesis is a reactant for cellular respiration? | sugar |
