| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| photosynthesis converts light energy into________ ___________ | chemical energy (food) |
| Autotrophs are organism that are capable or not capable of producing their own energy. | are capable |
| Heterotrophs are organisms that can produce or cannot produce their own energy through photosynthesis. | cannot produce |
| Do chlorplasts have a single membrane or a double membrane? | the chloroplast has a inner and outer membrane, known as a double membrane. |
| the tiny openings in the botton of the leaf allows are air to enter and leave the leaf. these holes are called what? | stomata |
| when electrons gain energy they are said to be? | excited electrons |
| which photosystem came first photosytem I or photosystem II? | Photosystem I |
| The Calvin cycle can also be referred to as two other names.what are the other two names? | "light-independent reactions" "dark reaction" |
| in the photosynthesis formula,carbon dioxide is the reduced or the oxidixed substance? | it is the reduced substance, because it will gain electrons (and energy) to form glucose. |
| in the photosynthesis formula, water is reduced or oxidized substance? | It is the oxidized substances,because it will lose electrons to replace those given to CO2 as it forms glucose. |
| In photosynthesis, the energy in the excitied electrons is used to make what? | chemical energy (food) |
| the events of the light reactions occurs where? | along the thylakoid membrane |
| where do the events of the calvin cycle occur? | in the stroma |
| in the sequence of events which photosystem happens first Photosystem I or Photosystem II? | Photosystem I was discovered first,however it doesn't occur first in the process of nature, photosystem II does. |
| The Calvin cycle is a sequence of reactions that use _______ and ______ to covert CO2 into sugar. | ATP and NADPH |
| C3 plants in hot and arid climates face two problems while doing photosynthesis. what are these two problems? | the lack of CO2 and Photorespiration |
| what is the difference in the chemical formula for photosynthesis and cellular respiration? | the real difference is that the energy that is released in cellular respiration is not light, it is ATP. |
