Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| photosynthesis | process in which green plants use the suns energy to make food |
| balanced chemical equitation for photosynthesis | 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| how do plants get water, carbon dioxide and light | rain and osmosis through the roots, respiration, suns rays. |
| where does photosynthesis take place | chloroplast |
| role of photosynthesis | produce glucose for heterotrophs and releases oxygen into the atmosphere for respiration |
| function of chlorophyll | absorbs light energy from the sun |
| ATP | adenosine triphosphate |
| NADP | nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate |
| what is the product of the light dependent stage | oxygen, ATP and NADP |
| describe cyclic electron flow (first 5 steps) | 1. sunlight strikes chlorophyll 2. electrons in chlorophyll absorb the energy and become energized 3. two energy rich electrons leave chlorophyll 4. electrons go to a carrier molecule 5. electrons pass from carrier 1 to carrier 2 |
| cyclic electron flow continued (last 5 steps) | 6. free energy is released 7. ADP traps the energy in a bond to P, forming ATP + water 8. electrons pass from carrier 2 to carrier 3 9. ADP traps energy in a bond P again, forms ATP and water 10. low energy electrons return to chlorophyll |

| describe non-cyclic flow (first 5 steps) | 1. sunlight hits chlorophyll 2. electrons in chlorophyll absorb the energy, become energized 3. two energized electrons leave chlorophyll 4. electrons enter a electron transport chain 5. electrons pass from carrier to carrier, energy is released |
| non-cyclic flow continued (last 5 steps) | 6. ADP traps energy in P bond, forms ATP + water 7. electrons are picked up by NADP+ to form NADP- 8. photolysis occurs 9. 2H+ from water are picked by NADP- to form NADP 10. electrons from water replenish chlorophyll |
| photolysis | splitting of water using sunlight |
| ADP | adenosine diphosphate |
| where does the dark stage occur | stroma |
| where does the light stage occur | grana |
| product of dark stage | glucose |
| what controls the dark stage | enzymes |
| dark stage | 1. C02 provides carbon to make glucose 2. NADPH provides hydrogens and electrons to reduce C02 for glucose 3. ATP provides energy to make glucose and reform ADP 3. NADP+ and ADP and P Goes back to the light stage to be recycled |
