Photosynthesis Study
Biology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the two parts of photosynthesis mean? | Photo=Light, Synthesis = bringing together |
| Write the chemical equation for photosynthesis. Label which side is the reactant and which is the products | 6 H2O + 6C02 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Reactants on left side, products on right side |
| In which type of organism does photosynthesis take place | Any part of a plant exposed to light |
| What is stomata and its importance to photosynthesis. | pores in a plant through which water and gases are exchanged between the plant and the atmosphere |
| How can water affect stomata | water causes the guard cells to swell and open the pores, no water keeps pores closed. |
| What is the function of pigment? | captures energy from the sun. |
| Explain why a plant contains multiple types of pigments? | Absorb maximum amount of light energy |
| List 3 types of pigment in plants, what color is absorbed and color reflected. | 1. Chlorophyll, absorbs red and blue, reflects green 2. Carotenoids, absorbs , reflects yellow/orange 3. Anthocyanin, absorbs , reflects red/purple |
| What is the difference between light dependent and light independent cycles (time of day) | Light dependent requires light, during day. light independent does not require light |
| Why is light so important to photosynthesis? | Light is the energy to photosynthesis |
| What is the purpose of ATP | store and release energy |
| What is the purpose of NADPH | transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules. |
| During photosynthesis water becomes,? | oxygen |
| During photosythesis _____________________ becomes glucose | Carbon dioxide |
| The light independent cycle is also called the | Calvin Cycle |
