Ch.8 Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| occurs in stroma | dark reactions or calvin cycle |
| is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the thylakoid membrane using photosytem | light reaction |
| is where light energy is converted into chemical energy for making sugar | photosystem |
| is any substance that absorbs visible light | pigment |
| the shorter the wavelength... | the more the energy |
| is the wavelengths we can see as well as the wavelengths of light plants use in photosynthesis | visible spectrum |
| is electromagnetic radiation and comes in a range of wavelengths | light |
| fluid filled space where glucose is made | stroma |
| contains the photosynthesizins pigments and converts light energy in to chemical energy | thylakoid membrane |
| stacks of thin, flattened, membranous bags | thylakoids |
| double membrane organelle | cholorplast |
| In plants and algae, _____ is the site of photosynthesis. | chloroplast |
| forms food base of majority of earths food webs. In addition we can thank this for oxygenated atmosphere. | photosynthesis |
| one of the most important chemical reactions in biosphere | photosynthesis |
| chemical formula for photosynthesis | CO2 +h2o + sunlight _________> c6h12o6 +o2 |
| connected grana | stroma lamella |
| internal membrane, contains chlorophyll and other photosynthesis pigments, pigments cluster into photosynthesis | thylakoid membrane |
| stacks of thylakoid | granum |
| oxygenic photosynthesis is carrried by | cyanobacteria, 7 groups of algae, all land plants |
| does produce oxygen; algae, cyanobacteria, landplants | oxygenic |
| does not produce oxygen | anoxygenic |
| 2 types of photosynthesis | anoxygenic, oxygenic |
