Ch 8 photosynthesis
Unit 3 Cells
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) | one of the principal chemical compounds that cells use to store and release energy |
| Photosynthesis | process where plants use energy of sunlight to convert water & carbon dioxide into high-energy carbohydrages and oxygen |
| Carbohydrates | sugar and starches |
| thylakoids | saclike photosynthetic membranes wehre chlorophyll and other pigments are organized into clusters of photosystems |
| Photosystems | the light collection units of the chloroplast |
| Water | a raw material of photosynthesis, a shortage could slow or stop photosynthesis |
| Light | required for photosynthesis |
| Enzymes | function between 0 and 35 degrees C |
| Temps above or below the range in C degrees | may damage the enzymes, slowing the rate of photosynthesis |
| Photosynthesis Equation | 6CO2 + 6H2O --L--> C0H12O6 + 6O2 |
| Oxygen | waste product |
| Photosynthesis Equation | carbon dioxide + water ----L----> sugars + oxygen |
