Photosynthesis questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Name the reactants and products in Photosynthesis: | CO2, H2O, Sunlight Glucose, O2 |
| What is the byproduct of Photosynthesis? | O2 |
| What kind of reaction is Photosynthesis? | Anabolic, endergonic, not spontaneous |
| Where does photosynthesis take place? | chloroplast |
| What is the Stroma? | the space between the thylakoid membranes and the internal membranes. |
| What are the two stages of photosynthesis? | Light reactions and Calvin Cycle. |
| Explain what happens in the light reaction stage generally: | Light energy is captured and converted and stored into ATP and NADPH. |
| Where does the light reactions take place in the chloroplast? | In the thylakoids. |
| Photosynthesis is a REDOX reaction. What is oxidized? | H2O |
| What reactant is used in Light reactions? | H2O |
| Where is H2O broken down in the light reactions? | Photosystem 2 protein |
| What are the products of the Light reactions stage? | NADPH, ATP and O2 |
| What products of the light reaction stage are used in the Calvin Cycle? | NADPH and ATP |
| What is ATP Synthase, and why do we use it? | It is protein enzyme and we need it to pump ions through the membrane wall. |
| What happens in Photosystem II? | Light is used to break the H2O down and electron chain is started. |
| What happens in Photosystem I? | It is at the end of the electron transport chain and the energy left is put into a NADP+ to make NADPH. |
| What are the reactants that are used in the Carbon Cycle? | CO2, ATP, and NADPH |
| Name the phases of the Calvin Cycle? | Carbon Fixation, Reduction, and Regeneration of the CO2. |
| What is the product of Calvin Cycle? | Glucose molecule |
| What molecule is reduced during the reduction phase of the Calvin Cycle? | CO2 |
| Which two products of the light reactions are used during the reduction phase? | ATP and NADPH |
| How many rounds of the Calvin Cycle are required in order to produce one glucose molecule? | 2 |
